SUMMARY:Exploring the Shadow
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the Shadow with Rob Preece\n\nThe shadow\, according to Carl Jung\, grows as we learn to suppress into the unconscious what is not acceptable in ourselves. He recognised that the degree to which we try to be “good” so that we are acceptable determines the depth of the shadow. How do we reconcile this psychological reality in the process of trying to become “good” Buddhists where we are taught to abandon what is unwholesome and cultivate what is wholesome?\nRob Preece has been a practicing Tibetan Buddhist for the past 40 years. He was a founding member of Manjushri Institute in the UK and lived there until 1980 when he went into retreat above Dharamsala on the guidance of Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche.\nReturning to the west in 1985 he began to train as a Psychotherapist at the Centre for Transpersonal Psychology in London\, a Jungian based psychotherapy. Since that time he has had a busy psychotherapy practice and has taught many workshops on comparative Jungian and Buddhist Psychology. More recently his work has shifted from psychotherapy to spiritual mentoring.

SUMMARY:The Pope\, the Poor\, and the Planet: Overcoming Insularity in an Integral Ecology
DESCRIPTION:Given the ecological risks that face us and the uneven distribution of responsibilities\, how can we overcome a sense of fragmentation and insularity?

SUMMARY:From Fear to Friendship: Interfaith Relations in a Time of Suspicion
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Rev. D. Andrew Kille\, Ph.D.\, Chair of Silicon Valley Interreligious Council. \nPrejudice and fear of unknown others is nothing new in the American experience. Time after time\, suspicion directed toward one group or another has complicated the interreligious encounter. What impact do negative statements made by presidential candidates or local governmental figures make on interfaith relations? What positive efforts are being made to bring people and communities together\, and how can individuals get involved in promoting a more just and compassionate world for all?

SUMMARY:International Women’s Day: Human Trafficking in the Bay Area
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: \nRuth Silver Taube\nRuth Silver Taube has a employment and labor law practice with her husband in San Jose. An adjunct professor\, Ruth also does pro-bono work at the South Bay Law Workers Ctr. at Santa Clara University. Ruth has won numerous awards for her community service mentoring law students and workers rights leadership. \nPerla Flores\nPerla Flores is the Division Director of Community Solutions\, a comprehensive human services agency serving Santa Clara and San Benito Counties. Since 1972\, this nonprofit agency has provided many wellness and recovery-based services for all ages\, including violence and crisis hotlines. \nInternational Women’s Day (IWD)\, originally called International Working Women’s Day\, is celebrated on March 8 every year. In different regions the celebrations ranges from general celebration of respect\, appreciation\, and love towards women to a celebration for women’s economic\, political\, and social achievements. In some regions\, the day became simply an occasion for people to express their love for women similar to a Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day. In other regions\, however\, the political and human rights theme designated by the United Nations runs strong\, and political and social awareness of the struggles of women worldwide are brought out and examined in a hopeful manner. \nThe 2016 theme for International Women’s Day is “Planet 50-50 by 2030: Step It Up for Gender Equality.” The United Nations observance on 8 March will reflect on how to accelerate the 2030 Agenda\, building momentum for the effective implementation of the new Sustainable Development Goals. It will equally focus on new commitments under UN Women’s Step It Up initiative\, and other existing commitments on gender equality\, women’s empowerment and women’s human rights. – See more at: www.unwomen.org/en/news/in-focus/international-womensday \nSponsored by Silicon Valley United Nations Association
