Jesus, Moses, the Buddha, and other great teachers were all born with a brain built essentially like anyone else’s. Then they used their minds to change their brains in ways that changed history. With the new breakthroughs in neuroscience, combined with insights from thousands of years of contemplative practice, you, too, can shape your own brain for greater happiness, love, and wisdom. Buddha’s Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom joins modern science with ancient teachings to show you how to have greater emotional balance in turbulent times, as well as healthier relationships, more effective actions, and greater peace of mind. Presented by Joe Izzo, a member of the Friends Meeting of Washington and a therapist at Whitman-Walker Health Center, Potluck begins at 6:30 pm. For more information, see the William Penn House website. (williampennhouse.org/potlucks) The William Penn House is at 515 E Capitol St SE, Washington, DC.
2012 is the centennial of the birth of Bayard Rustin, often called the "lost prophet" of the civil rights movement. A master strategist and tireless activist, he is best remembered as the organizer of the 1963 March on Washington, one of the largest nonviolent protests ever held in the U.S. He brought Gandhi's protest techniques to the American civil rights movement and played a deeply influential role in the life of Martin Luther King, Jr., helping to mold him into an international symbol of nonviolence. Join us for a special evening with Michael Long, editor of the book I Must Resist: Bayard Rustin's Life in Letters. Mr. Long is an associate professor of religious studies and peace and conflict studies at Elizabethtown College and is the author or editor of several books on civil rights, religion, and politics in mid-century America. Potluck begins at 6:30 pm. For more information, see the William Penn House website. (williampennhouse.org/potlucks) The William Penn House is at 515 E Capitol St SE, Washington, DC.
