Synopsis

Lately it seems that peace is just out of reach. Isn’t it time to commit to being more nonviolent, more compassionate in this uncertain world? Imperfect in an Uncertain World: Your Life, Your Message is a mosaic of nonviolence and compassion wisdom created with tiles fired with knowledge from Thomas Merton, Dorothee Soelle, Mahatmas Gandhi, Marshall Rosenberg, Pema Chödrön, others, and interpreted by me. Begin with the premise that we are all imperfect beings navigating an uncertain world. Take a journey through the world’s commotion by being attentive to the moment. Use the power of imperfections to transform into a less violent and more compassionate being — a person who truly lives their message.Through a series of practices, name your imperfections, rescript your life, and reframe your reactions to responses. Strengthen your commitment to living imperfectly, nonviolently, and compassionately in an uncertain world.Practice key transformative tools including the 4nons (nonattachment, nonjudgment, nondefensiveness, nonviolence), RI2 (practicing reflection, introspection, and integration), and living in mindful awareness (awake, alert, and alive) through full body listening. Taking an inward-out approach, Imperfect in an Uncertain World: Your Life, Your Message is a resource for recognizing and minimizing the impact of internal and external violence in your life. Peace isn’t out of reach. It is a matter of practice found within the pages of Imperfect in an Uncertain World: Your Life, Your Message.
