How to stay open and responsive while experiencing both individual and global challenges
Compassion and equanimity as tools to work with difficulties

Equanimity as the basis of wise discernment and skillful responsiveness
Re-framing difficult experiences as an opportunity to practice openness
An invitation to look within rather than blaming outside forces
Examining what emotions are underneath our reactions
Letting go of the illusion of being in control
Accepting our feelings instead of allowing them to limit us
Freeing ourselves through the awareness of impermanence
How compassion arises out of our willingness to come close to suffering
Sorrow as the near enemy of compassion
Having humility on our path to explore equanimity and compassion
“Equanimity gives us the foundation, the ability to approach the suffering without reactivity. And compassion, precisely arises out of the willingness to come close to suffering.” - Joseph Goldstein
