The free conference series will discuss ways to change our thinking around romantic relationships, sexuality, family life, how to raise children, and how to work out struggles with others. There will be weekly hour-long interviews with seven guests, including Tara Brach, a long-time meditation practitioner and founder of the Insight Meditation Community of Washington, and Christine Carter, a parent coach and author of Raising Happiness: 10 Simple Steps for More Joyful Kids and Happier Parents. You can watch the interviews live or through the conference archives. For more information and to register, click here.
