March 26, 2023 – Lisa Cottrell

“Love, Compassion, Presence and Poetry”

Lisa will explore the themes of love, compassion and mindful presence through personal pondering, story, and poetry, including poems from her recently published book. Her talk will range from the very personal to the political and spiritual.

She has pondered how to be more loving and compassionate to herself and others for many decades and will share a few practices that can be helpful. Compassion is not always soft and sometimes requires firm boundaries.
