Contemplative Medicine Conversations: Tending To Suffering With Equanimity in Healthcare
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 24TH, 2024 | 7:30 PM – 8:30 PM ET
“One of the great poignancies in life is that we’re not ultimately in control. Because of that, what we are looking for is the balance between compassion and equanimity, which allows us to care and yet not get overwhelmed and unable to cope because of that caring.”
– Sharon Salzberg
