We can often think that very few ancient teachings could apply to these historic times, when things seem upended in ways the world has never seen (or so it seems;). This week, we explore lessons that are over 2600 years old that remind us of our humanity and what really matters, no matter the era, our job, our age, our nationality, our sexuality, our religion, or any other way we might identify. This is about getting clear about how we want to show up in the world, and committing to that for the benefit of our liberation - and others’.

You will learn:

// How ethics and inner peace go hand in hand 

// Why cultivating and committing to your own set of ethics is so critical in today’s world

// An exploration of Wise Ppeech, Wise Action, and Wise Livelihood

// How our work can be our prayer

// 4 questions we can begin to ask ourselves to help us stay in alignment

// 2 practices around wise speech and wise action to try out in our daily lives.
