The Global Joy Summit
Celebrating our shared humanity and living with joy in challenging times.
What if experiencing the lowest points in our lives made us capable of experiencing higher levels of joy?
Explore this idea and much more during the Global Joy Summit, November 13-16, 2022.
Feeling the pain of the world and recognizing how many are struggling with isolation and despair, his holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu met one last time before Tutu’s passing to create a final gift for us all—poignant, practical, and often humorous teachings on how we can live with more Joy, even during deeply troubled times.
Be inspired by the contagious joy of these self-described “mischievous brothers” and learn from 30+ spiritual teachers, joy researchers, visionary change makers, and artists.
The Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu have faced oppression, exile, death threats, cancer, and more, yet came out the other side as two of the most joyful human beings on the planet. Their life stories and practical wisdom, remind us that joy is an inside job, that joy and sorrow are inseparable, and that one of joy’s secrets is deep connection with others.
The event includes a screening of Mission: JOY, the moving and laugh-out-loud funny documentary about the Dalai Lama’s and Desmond Tutu’s friendship.
Sessions include Bishop Michael Curry on Joy and the Way of Love; Mingyur Rinpoche on Joyful Wisdom: Transforming Difficulty into Opportunity; and Valerie June on Black Joy.
The Global Joy Summit is hosted online and is totally free to attend. For more details, and to register, go to www.globaljoysummit.org.
