Healing America’s Racial Karma with Dr. Larry Ward Buddhist teacher Dr. Larry Ward says much of the global turmoil we face today is the result of a history of thought and practice that has justified slavery, environmental degradation, and other atrocities. Therefore, the revolutionary act is to slow down, practice kindness, and cultivate joy. In this dharma talk, Ward describes how we can start to heal the trauma in ourselves and the world by doing just that.

Guided Tonglen Meditation with Lama Tsomo Tibetan Buddhist teacher Lama Tsomo shares a guided tonglen meditation to get grounded, move from fear to love, and hold each other with care while fostering compassion and connection.

Awakening My Heart on Retreat with Thich Nhat Hanh Lions Roar’s Andrea Miller describes a six-day retreat with the Vietnamese Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh – one that promised total relaxation and ended up being a healing experience she didn’t know she needed.
