Tony Traback: Outsourced Suffering at TEDxSanJoseStateUniversity

Tony Traback is a pastor of Spiritual Foundation at The River Church Community in San Jose. He journeys with people in the church (and outside of it), as they wrestle with life's more difficult questions, as they struggle to discern life's meaning and as they attempt to be a kind and compassionate presence in our world. He is passionate about living as a creature and discerning his relationship with the earth and the Creator - which involves a wide range of hobbies and practices, from hunting, gardening and cooking to silence and contemplative prayer.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
