This week’s topic is “Fear and Fearlessness in the Midst of Uncertainty”

 

We try to secure our lives by any means necessary. We do our best, we tend to our business, and boom!, a crisis occurs.

 

Whether it’s an ecological, political, pandemic, professional, relational or spiritual crisis…  life does not leave us settled, bringing up a whole procession of fears and worries.

 

So how can we find peace? How can we become fearless? This is the theme we will explore this week on Sangha Live
