Eckhart Tolle, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and the American Ego: How a More Conscious Activism Might Save Us

Sunday, January 7, 2024
VIRTUAL SERVICE ONLY! - BUILDINGS CLOSED DUE TO SNOW
Guest Speaker, Kris Comment

Wisdom for approaching the growing political tensions in our country can be found in the words of New Age philosopher, Eckhart Tolle, and his predecessor, nineteenth-century Transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson. Both men shed light on the destructive nature of ego and its role in fueling societal division. Learn how their ideas might help us to envision a path toward unity and justice in our democracy through empowered mindful action.
