This talk explores the heart of the Fourth Noble Eightfold Path factor—Right Action—as a living expression of mindfulness and compassion. We look at how ethical conduct arises not from rigid rule-following but from moment-to-moment awareness, attunement to the body's signals, and a sincere intention to do no harm. Through stories, classical teachings, humor, and direct reflection, we explore non-harming, integrity, embodied wisdom, and the courage it takes to act wisely in a complex world.

You'll learn how to sense alignment in your actions, recognize the body as your most honest ethical compass, and translate presence into choices that support clarity, kindness, and inner freedom. You'll explore practical exercises to listen more deeply, cultivate integrity, stay grounded in challenging situations, and bring compassionate, courageous action into your relationships, work, and daily life.
