Cultivating Peace: From Stillness to Compassion

How do we find peace in a busy world and carry that peace into the way we care for others?

Join internationally bestselling author and Zen Buddhist teacher Haemin Sunim and humanitarian, spiritual teacher and author Hanuman Dass for an afternoon exploring the connection between inner peace and compassion in everyday life.
