LIVE: Mandy Kahn's Peace Class (9/30)


Peace isn't the opposite of war
From Mandy "No-Mind" Kahn: Friends, I hope everyone's summer was as replenishing as mine. Weekly Peace Class resumes tonight (Wednesday, Sept. 30, 6:00 pm, PT) on ZOOM. Share it with friends.

Participants may attend silently, even anonymously, because only my face is visible. Student interactions, though encouraged, are entirely optional. Anyone who is curious about class can quietly slip in to get a feel for it.
Peace Class Wednesdays, 6:00 pm (prs.org)
There are many who do not attend class, but who participate in the community via weekly emails or reading many edited Peace Class talks at Wisdom Quarterly. Everyone is invited to join that way.

Here's what to expect in class. This Wednesday evening, enlivened and renewed, let's begin this vital work together.
