Online: We Were Made for These Times – Lessons for Moving Through Change, Loss and Disruption
with Kaira Jewel Lingo
Wednesday, December 8th, 2021 | 6:00pm – 8:00pm ET
In this time of unprecedented uncertainty and stress, many of us feel like the ground is being pulled out from under us. Perhaps we are at a crossroads, needing to make a huge decision and we don’t know which way to go. We may be experiencing personal loss or hardship, or we may be touching the immensity of our collective disruption and polarization.
In this evening event, Kaira Jewel Lingo will offer teachings and practices based on her new book, We Were Made for These Times, drawing from her own experience with times of change and challenge to support you in difficult times. Time-honored teachings will help you develop ease, trust in life, presence, and self-compassion, so you can meet the individual and collective pain of these times with an open heart and clear mind.
