The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
— Bob Dylan, The Times They Are A-Changin'

We live in changing times: politics, society, economics, and perhaps most importantly, environment. We have to make choices in each of these areas, and the choices we make will affect us, those around us, each of the other areas, and the world in which we live.

How do we make these choices? How do we know they are the right ones?

Do we actually make choices? Or are our "choices" predetermined in some strange way, by fate, karma, genetics, or conditioning?

In this one-day workshop, we'll look at these questions and others, applying tools and perspectives from Buddhism in a combination of meditation, reflection, interactive exercises.
