September is Suicide Prevention Month. Over these two weeks, Pete will share reflections from his many years volunteering on a suicide hotline, together with insights from his Buddhist practice. These evenings will offer space to reflect on suffering, compassion, and how we can meet difficult and painful experiences with care, awareness, and support.
