Wisdom Wednesday: “Facing Our Collective Egos” with Abby Shepard
Wednesday, November 19th | 5:30–6:30 PM
Meditation begins at 5:30 pm MT, followed by the talk and discussion at 6:00 pm MT
Led by Abby Shepard, this evening features meditation, a brief practice share, an opportunity to ask questions, and a chance to share your experiences with practice. Abby’s practice share is about “Facing Our Collective Egos” and ways she practices with societal conditioning, such as colonialism, that prevents us from fully embodying our realization of interbeing and contributes to the immense harm we see being enacted in the world.
These sessions are designed to enhance your practice and also provide an opportunity to connect with the local sangha community. This hybrid event is free and registration is not required. Please arrive five to ten minutes ahead of the scheduled time.
To attend in person, please read and follow our COVID-19 Protocols for MCZC’s current policies on masks, vaccinations, and testing.
