Practicing Mindfulness in Divisive Times

After living as an ordained nun for 15 years in Thich Nhat Hanh’s monastic community, Kaira Jewel Lingo now teaches internationally in the Zen lineage and the Vipassana tradition, as well as in secular mindfulness, at the intersection of racial, climate and social justice with a focus on activists, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, artists, educators, families, and youth.

This workshop is a part of our Deer Park Monastery's Monthly Engaged Buddhism Series featuring Lay Dharma Teachers in the Plum Village Tradition. This series is for mindfulness practitioners around the world who want to learn more about engaged practice and how to build service-based mindfulness communities.
