<P><STRONG>A Garrison Institute Salon</STRONG></P>
<P>The truth has never been more important, or more besieged. How does a political & media landscapenow dominated by bias, half-truths, hyperbole, rancor, & occasionally weaponized misinformationaffect us psychologically, morally, & even spiritually? How do we maintain a healthy information diet, even in the midst of this crisis? When should we tune in, & when should we tune out? And how do we hold on to truth amid the roiling seas of nonsense?</P>
<P>On September 19th, at Judson Memorial Church, the Garrison Institute will convene an intimate group of leading voices in technology, journalism, psychology, & the contemplative traditions for a wide-ranging & participatory dialogue. Together, well explore actionable strategies for holding on to & living in truth in a post-truth age.</P>
