As philanthropic leaders and social change practitioners, how do we find equanimity in the face of suffering through practice? How does meditation and mindfulness allow us to see deeper into human experience, cultivate compassion and lovingkindness, shift fear or pain into courage, and let go when needed?  Sharon Salzberg joins the Cultivate the Soul podcast to explore how inner work fuels outer action. This episode is essential listening for anyone in philanthropy, activism, or social innovation.
