Weekend Program

When the Rubber Hits the Road: Living the Dharma in Difficult Times

Featuring: Tara Brach, Larry and Peggy Ward, Robert Thurman, Sharon Salzberg, Kazu Haga, Dhammadipa and Hugh Byrne

Friday, Jan 24, 07:00 PM EST - Sunday, Jan 26, 12:00 PM EST

Join beloved teachers Tara Brach, Drs. Larry and Peggy Ward, Sharon Salzberg, Robert Thurman, Kazu Haga, Dhammadipa Melissa Cardenas, and Hugh Byrne for this weekend of conversation, community, and practice. Each session will be recorded and sent to everyone who registers by the start of the event.

This event is offered freely. In the Buddhist spirit of generosity, we encourage you to donate to IMCW, which allows us to continue sharing the teachings with participants around the world.

We’re living in times that deeply challenge our ability to bring the compassion and wisdom we cultivate on the cushion into our everyday lives. How do Buddhist teachings help us examine the perceptions and biases that fuel separation and hatred? What’s the meaning of fierce compassion? Is equanimity even possible when so many are living in trauma, fear, and uncertainty? And how can we care for ourselves, our planet, and each other in ways that align with both our heartfelt beliefs and our individual capacities?

All sessions will have an interactive component and we encourage you to get comfortable and to participate as much as you are able.

Participants will be informed where to watch the live stream online when the Zoom meeting has reached capacity.
