Is it naïve to speak of positivity, hope, or joy in a time that seems to justify perpetual alarm and despair? Yet people can thrive in apparently impossible circumstances, and even offer help to others.

In this workshop, we will engage a variety of meditative and spiritual practices. They orient us toward joy and effective participation in life, without ignoring the disasters within us, around us, and ahead of us.

Michael Lipson, PhD is a Clinical Psychologist who leads meditation workshops internationally and maintains a private practice in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts.
