Engaged and Aware: Finding a Balance

For many of us, commitment to justice and ethics leads us to engage in action in the real world.

How can we sustain our engagement and connect our mindfulness to the suffering all around (and within!) us? Let’s explore the implications of bringing our practice into every day life.
