How do we cultivate peace? Peace within ourselves, peace with others and peace with a world in crisis? This course will offer us ways to practice connecting with an
inner refuge that is always available to us. Instructions will be scaffolded with lessons that gently develop a deepening of our understanding and experience of
how mindfulness can support our experiences in our everyday lives with others and with ourselves.
