SNL: Dharma is a monthly program wherein we invite a prominent teacher to address us on the dharma topic of their choice. This month's topic is: Your Life Matters Part 2- Eight steps for racial reconciliation.

Dr. Shakoor will discuss eight steps, or points, a person or community can follow to bring about racial harmony. This concept can be applied in all situations where the potential of conflict is eminent. The philosophical foundations of this talk is based in part from Buddhist psychology and the book Ghetto Sutras.

This program is online. We will send the zoom link the day of the program.

Do not allow the noise of the world to divert your path. There’s confusion, there’s conflict and there’s also clarity that comes from the sweetest connection to your soul. That connection can become the loudest voice you hear! Love, Laurie R.
