Discover how our greatest challenges can become the most valuable source of our wisdom—and how we can transform our experience of suffering into the power of compassion for the benefit of others. Join psychologist Tracy Ochester, PsyD in a 4-week exploration of Joan Halifax's book, Standing at the Edge: Finding Freedom Where Fear and Courage Meet online via Zoom. Through her work as a humanitarian, a social activist, an anthropologist, and as a Buddhist teacher and her collaboration with neuroscientists, clinicians, and psychologists, Halifax explores how contemplative practice can be a vehicle for social transformation.
