JAINA is pleased to invite you to a special Chai & Chat session exploring how the timeless Jain principle of Ahimsa can shape the choices we make in our everyday lives.

๐Ÿ—“ Sunday, August 16
โ˜•๏ธ 11:00 AM EDT | 8:00 AM PDT | 8:30 PM IST
๐Ÿ”— https://luma.com/qdtebb4q

โ€‹Through an engaging intergenerational dialogue, our panelists will share their personal journeys โ€” from their own evolving understanding of Ahimsa to the experiences that inspired them to embrace a more compassionate way of living.
