Online via Zoom | Free

Join Valerie Brown and Marisela B. Gomez for a virtual celebration of their book, Love Is Liberation: Five Contemplations for Daily Ethical Living. Together, we will explore how the Five Mindfulness Trainings can guide ethical choices rooted in belonging, compassion, and love.

The book brings forward perspectives from BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ Buddhist practitioners as it considers how we can respond to racial, ethnic, and social suffering. What choices help us practice love in daily life? How might mindfulness strengthen our capacity to care for one another and act in a world facing deep injustice? Parallax Press

What does it mean to practice love through our daily choices? How might we meet suffering with both compassion and action? Come celebrate the book and reflect on these questions in community.
