About The Presentation

In a dialogue with participants, Mark will explore how “politics” challenges each of us psychologically and spiritually. We will explore our responses to that challenge and ask together: “What is a healthy way of responding to a toxic political system?” In a brief opening talk, Mark will share how his journey through politics has challenged him and influenced his understanding of consciousness and citizenship.
