The Power of Belonging and Connectedness in Alleviating Suffering

If we realized how profoundly our chronic judgment creates separation and blocks the flow of love, we'd dedicate more deeply to disarming our hearts. Drawing on practices from the Bodhisattva path, these two talks explore the process of disarming—bridging divides with those close in, and opening our hearts to those at a distance who we consider a 'bad other" or enemy. As we cultivate the capacity for true disarming, we experience a growing sense of belonging, Oneness and the freedom of an awakened heart.
