Even with our social distancing, conflict is still thriving in many of our lives whether on social media, in our communities, or inside of ourselves. How can we manage social strife, strong family opinions and inner turmoil when every issue seems to be or is an urgent matter of life or death?
Dr. Seth Josephson, lecturer and meditation facilitator, talks us through various forms of conflict and how to frame them so that we can be more effective activists, happier people, and better communicators.

The Vegan Magic of a Daily Walk in Your Neighborhood
Most of us have more time with our kids than ever and fewer options of where to go. The daily walk I take with my dog and kids has shaped our entire homeschooling experience and has become foundation for our unschooled learning about the world. It's a slow walk, one made for observation more than exercise, although we occasionally break into a good run. How might an observational walk fit into your life? What are the benefits? How could a simple walk keep kids vegan throughout their lives? Even if you are in a heavily urban area, you can find some nature in the small corners and pockets of green.
Hear from me, a vegan mom, about the benefits of a walk, and then hear what my kids (5 and 8) have to say about it!
