Join Us for an Engaging Reading Group: Standing at the Edge: Finding Freedom Where Fear and Courage Meet
Widener University invites faculty, staff, and students to participate in a dynamic reading group centered around Joan Halifax's book, Standing at the Edge: Finding Freedom Where Fear and Courage Meet. Recounting the experiences of caregivers, activists, humanitarians, politicians, parents, and teachers, incorporating the wisdom of Zen traditions and mindfulness practices, and rooted in Halifax’s groundbreaking research on compassion, Standing at the Edge is destined to become a contemporary classic.
