How Can We Create Islands of Sanity in a Sea of Chaos?
We are in the midst of an unprecedented pandemic as well as ongoing climate crisis which will keep wreaking havoc in our lives long after the pandemic is over. We can take wise, wholesome and strategic actions if and only if we can face our own fear of death, grief, shame and trauma. We can not think our way out of grief or trauma. This conversation will discuss the role of spirituality and meditation communities can play in unlocking our potential to be wise and compassionate citizens at this time.
In This Session:
- Extent of trauma faced by an average American, with respect to domestic violence, alcoholism and child abuse
- Importance of grief rituals in these times for facing and healing trauma. How and why grief is not fully acknowledged in meditation communities
- Speaker's own journey with Covid-19
- Importance of cohorts of 4-8 people in developing ongoing community that is able to work on both inner healing and outer strategic activism together
- The concept of "Islands of sanity" in the midst of a chaotic sea
