Path of the Dharma Troublemaker
What if the most radical act in our tumultuous times (or in any time) were to sit down wherever you are and wake up to the oneness of life? And what if that awakened rebel mind then stood up and resisted the status quo of confusion, division, and intolerance and went on a subversive mission to embody wholeness and compassion in the heart of life?
As a Zen teacher, journalist and poet, Amy (Tu es cela) Hollowell has devoted her life and practice to this spiritual path of the troublemaker, fostering a revolution of the heart and mind for all. Join a talk with Amy to explore her life and work and the wildly subversive ways we might meet the challenges of our current moment.
