Meditation - Dharma Talk - Reflection
With Guest Teacher Ofosu Jones-Quartey
4:30PM - 6:30PM | Held In-Person & Online
What if the way we relate to ourselves could transform the world around us?
When self-compassion becomes more than self-help, it transforms into a radical act of love which ripples outward into our relationships, communities, and culture. Explore self-compassion as a powerful, practical path toward personal and collective healing.
Join us for mindfulness meditation and a radical Dharma talk in an inclusive community.
