About the Event:
Meditation teacher Beth Upton will be leading a series of events exploring the interrelated themes of truth and suffering. We will be looking at how these two forces play out in our meditation practice, in our daily lives, in our relationships, and in society as a whole. Ultimately we will be looking at how these two forces can support us in finding greater degrees of freedom. This will be the first of three events, which you are welcome to attend as a series or individually.
