DESCRIPTION:We all long to be happy. We all long to feel at ease\, to know 
 that we’re okay\, that life is okay\, to be at peace. And we’re deeply
  habituated to look for this happiness outside us\, to grasp and scramble 
 for an experience that\, at best\, ends up being fleeting\, then something
  we long for again. We forget that this experience we long for is already 
 seated in the heart of who we are—and that it’s always here. \n\nHave 
 you ever touched this peace\, this contentment\, this deep knowing of who 
 you truly are and then struggled because you recognized the degree to whic
 h the world around you didn’t reflect this experience of our true nature
 ?\n\nThis talk explores how meditation\, mindfulness\, and contemplative t
 echnologies designed for the realization of personal freedom can―and mus
 t be―applied collectively. Join us to connect with the deepest truth of 
 who we are\, and explore how this understanding can transform our own live
 s and the world we share.\n\nRecommended reading: The Heart of Who We Are:
