"Asian American Identity and Self Compassion during Covid 19"
Dr. Ravi Chandra will teach the founding principles of Mindful Self Compassion, lead us in some self-compassion meditations, and also give perspectives on how to deal with microaggressions.

Facebuddha: Transcendence in the Age of Social Networks is his full-length nonfiction debut, and is the winner of the 2017 Nautilus Silver Book Award for Religion/Spirituality of Eastern Thought.
