Love & Resilience:
The Contemplative Care Summit
Whether facing conflict in our relationships, working as health professionals, caring for an ill or dying family member, or we're end-of-life care partners, how do we balance the enormous task of caring for another human being with our own wellbeing? How do we work with the fear that arises when we confront conflict, suffering, or death?
Contemplative care practices offer practical, grounding techniques for anyone facing the universal truths of suffering and impermanence, so we can offer the best of our love, foster connectedness and resilience, and transform the act of caring into a path of personal healing.
Hosted by Koshin Paley-Ellison and Chodo Robert Campbell, Lion’s Roar & the New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care are honored to bring to you Love & Resilience: The Contemplative Care Summit.
