Lead Teacher Brad Ruggles addresses What the World Needs Now with mettā, a Pali word, most often translated as loving-kindness, but also as universal goodwill or compassion.

Guest Teacher Sarah Kornfield visits this week and adds Surrender to the list of What the World Needs Now. Her teaching title is Men Don’t Retreat: Masculinity and Sovereignty in White Evangelicalism.

Our new series What the World Needs Now continues with Lead Teacher Brad Ruggles focusing on Balance.

C3 Lead Teacher Brad Ruggles is back to kick off a new series, What the World Needs Now. In our first week, Refuge, we’ll look at the growing need for safe spaces, where individuals can explore life’s deep questions without expectations or judgement.

C3 Core Teacher Michael DeWilde is back for the second week in a row. This week’s teaching is Part Two: Hot Button Issues in Ethics.

C3 Core Teacher Michael DeWilde joins us for the first of two consecutive visits with his talk: Hot Button Issues in Ethics.

C3’s Lead Teacher Brad Ruggles channels SNL’s Nadine with his teaching Simma Down Nah. The political frenzy has been ratcheted up to a new level this election cycle. Things are crazy and they’re probably going to get even crazier in the coming months. How do we turn down the temperature on our conversations and interactions? Is it even possible to find common ground when there is so little to agree on? We may not agree on the answers, but we'll ask the tough questions together.

Miriam Bush, who was with us last November, adds to our Unfolding series with Riding the Wave: Seeking Balance.

This week in our Unfolding series, we'll explore the pitfalls of living a life built on pretense and the profound impact it has on our mental health, relationships, and society at large with our Lead Teacher’s topic: You Can’t Handle the Thruth - Why the “Fake-It” Culture Is Failing Us.
