This workshop is a shorter version of Claude AnShin Thomas's daylong intensive. In this workshop, Thomas shows us that war and violence are not a result of human nature but, he says, "the collective expression of our personal suffering." And though the seeds of war and violence are planted early and often, Thomas shows us how we each have the power to end war. The workshop introduces different tools of meditation and mindfulness practice to help us discover the responsibility, power, and wisdom to live in a different way. CE credit available.
