In a world that often feels like it's teetering on the edge, many of us grapple with overwhelming feelings of instability and uncertainty.

Compounding global conflicts, an intensifying climate crisis, widespread social inequality, and rising economic disparities can lead to a myriad of emotions like fear and anxiety that can leave us feeling untethered and disconnected.

On Wednesday, December 10th, join Ethan Nichtern, Head of Yearlong Buddhist Studies at Dharma Moon, and Dan Harris, host of the popular podcast 10% Happier, for a conversation on staying grounded, available, and engaged, even when the world is on fire.

During our discussion, we'll explore:

• Recognizing crises, whether personal or global, as opportunities for growth and transformation.

• Fostering compassion and empathy, even when facing conflict or strong differences of opinion.

• Using meditation to work with anxiety, fear, and other destabilizing emotions.

• Embracing change as a fundamental aspect of life to help us navigate uncertainties.

• How cultivating awareness helps us stay grounded amid life's chaos.

• Understanding how our attachments, whether material or emotional, can be sources of instability and how the practice of letting go leads to resilience and less suffering.

Ethan will also discuss the upcoming Dharma Moon Yearlong Buddhist Studies program and offer insights on how studying Buddhism can help us show up more fully for ourselves and others during these difficult times.
