About the Event:
This event is donation-based, will take place via Zoom, and is intended for a younger audience although all are welcome.
Meditation teacher Beth Upton will be leading a series of events exploring the interrelated themes of truth and suffering. We will be looking at how these two forces play out in our meditation practice, in our daily lives, in our relationships, and in society as a whole. Ultimately we will be looking at how these two forces can be used in our paths to liberation. Part two of this series will investigate the relationship between our personal practice, compassion, and interpersonal relationships.
