In this second session, we look at ways to lighten our emotional and material loads. Moderation and Temperance are two virtues that focus on self-restraint. With moderation, we practice reducing our annoyance at annoying people. With temperance, we practice reducing consumption in order to move more lightly upon the earth.  We’ll consider who benefits from our current excesses and what other responses might be available in the moment.
