Whether we are on the front lines of a war zone or on the front lines in our community, maintaining inner peace in the face of suffering is our biggest challenge. Many of us have answered the call to serve and are working on meaningful issues with a strong desire to help. But exactly how are we helping? Are we meeting rage and hopelessness with more rage and hopelessness? Or have we become burned out or numb in the face of overwhelming need?  In this daylong we will explore ways to keep the Buddha’s teaching alive in our pursuit to create positive change in the world. The day will include meditation, music, group discussion and relevant talks on the theme of the day.
