It invites readers to step away from enemyship, to root their activism in shared humanity, and to declare their interdependence.Readers will discover:• How mindfulness can heal the civic wounds of polarization and fear• Practices for engaging with news and social media without being consumed• A reimagining of democracy as collective empowerment, not endless conflict• Zen stories and teachings to inspire transformation• Practical tips for showing up skillfully in moments of disagreement and tensionWhether you’re a seasoned activist or a tender-hearted citizen seeking a new path forward, this luminous testament to resilience offers a lantern in the dark—and a quiet call to remember who we are, and what we’re here to do, together.About the AuthorJeremy David Engels is the author of six books, including On Mindful Democracy: A Declaration of Interdependence to Mend a Fractured World (Parallax, 2026).
