Description
Is it possible to care deeply about the world without being consumed by it?
At a moment when so many of us are carrying grief, anxiety and uncertainty about the world around us, Marianne Williamson joins 92NY’s Rabbi David Ingber for a timely conversation about how we keep our hearts open without becoming overwhelmed.
Together, they explore some of the questions many of us are wrestling with right now: Is it okay to experience joy when others are suffering? How do we stay engaged without losing our sense of hope? Can grief deepen rather than diminish our capacity for love? And what can we actually do when the weight of the world feels like too much?
Williamson and Ingber consider how love, forgiveness, faith, and spiritual practice can help us meet difficult moments with greater steadiness and purpose. Williamson also reflects on midlife not as a crisis, but as an awakening: a chance to let go of fear, reconsider what matters and choose more intentionally how we want to live.
Join them for a candid, searching conversation about finding peace without looking away from the world, and finding a way to live fully within it.
The conversation was recorded on September 29th, 2026, at The 92nd Street Y, New York.
