Life has always been difficult, fragile and unstable. Added to that, we are now faced with looming changes in our lives that come through climate change, political collapse, war, and terrorism.
With whom can we speak openly and share our fears and losses?
These monstrous realities are mostly taboo in conversations with friends and loved ones. We need places, community, and rituals where we can open to the fear, uncertainty, pain, danger, and injury that seems overwhelming. We must band together to cultivate our capacity to live with truth, joy, and compassion, no matter what.
Betsy Toll, Founder of Living Earth, and PIMC Founder and Guiding Teacher Robert Beatty invite you to join them to gather in meditation and a deep, honest conversation about what is really happening in our lives and hearts.
We will share, move, dance, and meditate as we express our ultimate connectedness.
Gathering in community and sharing our common experience is an antidote to helplessness and hopelessness and can provide doorways for revealing our natural resilience. Please bring a lunch.

Betsy Toll is the founder of Living Earth, offering dharma circles, service programs, and community dialogues in Portland that bring practice into social action. As a non-denominational lay chaplain, Betsy provides support to ill and dying individuals and their loved ones in hospital and at home. The generosity, kindness, and wisdom of Ram Dass, Joanna Macy, and Roshi Joan Halifax illuminate her dharma path.
