Despair and Empowerment

TEACHER: Caitlin Colson
MEDITATION THEME: Despair and Empowerment

Caitlin:  The tension between the opposite poles of despair and empowerment makes each experience possible. In other words, we can’t fully experience empowerment unless we also experience its shadow – despair. Inspired by the work of ecophilosopher Joanna Macy, we’ll look at the way despair and empowerment work together to facilitate each other into being. Like it or not, you can’t have one without the other.
