Conversations on Practice

Lily joined Ambika on February 28, 2020 for a two-hour event to kick off Ambika’s new monthly series, Conversations on Practice. They discuss a variety of topics including spiritual bypass, cultural appropriation, the #metoo movement in spiritual communities and more.

Life is full of profound goodness and difficulty, beauty and injustice, connection, and uncertainty. How can spiritual practice help us navigate the inherent complexities of life in a balanced way? Ambika and Lily Cushman have a frank conversation about how spiritual practice can either help us or hinder us. Exploring the different applications of mantra and meditation that can free us from clouded judgment, magical thinking, and inevitable misconceptions.
