Compassionate Action for Upstream Sources of Suffering

When you look at the state of the world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, helpless, or outraged—and unsure what actually makes a difference. I’ve certainly felt that way myself at times, and lately have been hearing from others that feel similarly. So in this talk, I explore how real change happens when inner growth meets collective action, and how compassion can move from a feeling into something that truly shapes the world.
