BCD offers monthly Mindful Conversations on Politics and Society on the third Wednesday of every month, from 7 to 8:30 pm New York time.
It is an opportunity to reflect on how events are landing within us, what it means to us to be engaged Buddhists, and to find meaning through shared presence.
We start with a 15-minute meditation, after which we have a mindful discussion as a group. If there is a large number of participants, we talk in breakout rooms before engaging in group discussion.
Together, we co-create a respectful, supportive space that honors our common ground and is enriched by the diversity of our life experiences. The blend of meditation and dialogue fosters connection within and between us.
