Election cycles can be stressful for many people, as they bring a constant stream of news, debates, and discussions that can feel overwhelming. The intensity of political advertisements, social media conflicts, and the pressure to stay informed can create a sense of anxiety and fatigue. For some, the polarization and negativity can feel personal, especially when issues deeply impact their values, communities, or even their sense of identity. The uncertainty of outcomes can leave people feeling on edge, powerless, or worried about the future.
How does one continue to show up as a virtuous person amidst all of this?
In this virtual event on October 3 at 1 P.M. ET, Zen Buddhist priest and clinical psychologist Seth Segall and Tricycle’s editor-in-chief, James Shaheen, will discuss what it means to be a virtuous person during an election cycle.
