Wise Hope in Turbulent Times with Tenzing Chokyi

Wise Hope in Turbulent Times. How do we access hope and keep our sense of purpose and our motivation alive in what can feel like such challenging times? Whether it is our political polarization, the climate crisis, or issues that are more personal, we can often feel overwhelmed and not know where to begin.

Instead of resigning ourselves to our current situation, we can dream and build new possibilities. This is hope in action. In this way, hope is an energy source that resides in each of us. And the choice is ours – to keep hope alive or to give in to doubt and despair and let hope fade away.

In this conversation, we will explore ways of managing some of the difficult emotions many of us may be feeling in these challenging times, and we will collectively harvest strategies for keeping our hope and motivation alive.
