Love at the Center: Grounding Practices in an Age of Outrage

In a moment of political upheaval, fear, and moral urgency, how do we stay grounded without turning away? How do we live our UU shared values that place love at the center while embodying resilience? This program, led by Matthew Tift, draws on Buddhist teachings on appropriate attention and the four boundless abodes — loving-kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity — to explore practical ways to meet the present moment with clarity, courage, and care. Together we’ll reflect, practice, and consider how to act in the world without being consumed by anger.
