Mindfulness & Social Action: Towards a Secular Spirituality

In this simple and profound lecture, Michael explores how the most radical thing that anyone can do is tell the stories that are not being told. He links together contemporary issues like climate change, economic inequality, and the atrophy of intimacy and offers 12 steps for telling a new story about what it means to live an engaged life. This talk is also an evolving manifesto for how to talk about spirituality in a post-metaphysical age. It was presented as a PowerPoint and links together some of Michael’s clearest ideas of the past several years. Recorded in Vancouver on January 28th, 2015.
