As we begin our next four weekly Circles, we explored the Taoist story of the Farmer and his neighbor, and the theme of "Who knows what is good and what is bad?” Liz Gannon Graydon and Jelena Popovic, from the Peace Alliance, led the group in exploring the story in break-out groups. One participant responded, “be still and see what the experience can teach you to take forward with greater humility and compassion for others.” We were honored to have people from all around the country, as well as Mumbai, Berlin, British Columbia and a Palestinian from Haifa join us and share!
