Practical Peace - Things I Learned from the Yosemite Peace Symposium

The Peaceful Life Podcast

In this episode I discuss all the wonderful presentations I attended at the Yosemite Peace Symposium - practical ways we can take action to better our part of the world. I then lead listeners through a visualization/affirmation to heal the hatred, violence, and injustice that is prevalent in the United States at this time.

This is an important week for us here in the U.S. Please exercise your right to vote.
