Ep. 03 – Melanie Bien

Dale speaks with Melanie Bien, who has dedicated herself to working on the street with the San Francisco Homeless Outreach Team. The two met a few years ago at a retreat led by Dale, after the death of Melanie’s mother. Melanie and Dale discuss how the practice that she has cultivated counterbalances the deep suffering she is exposed to on a daily basis. Reminding us that to have love and compassion means giving it to ourselves and our enemies as much as anyone else. “Love is contagious, those who haven’t got it catch it from those who do.” – Meher Baba See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
