Feel the energy of hope as you sit back listen, and breathe into this guided meditation led by Julie Potiker. You will be focusing on hope that's all around you - and around the planet. She completes the meditation with a quote from Eric Liu.

“To be optimistic is to assume things will work out. To be hopeful is to realize things can work out if you work at them. Hope requires responsibility and agency; optimism relieves us of both. In rooting for your sports team, choose optimism. In rooting for democracy, choose hope.”

— Eric Liu
