Conversations in Compassion

We all lose when someone has to spend all of their time, energy, and personal resources on coping with scarcity.

Feeling the incredible hopelessness of doing all the right things and knowing that it’s not enough; that you need to find the courage and strength within yourself to take the journey of healing.

As you listen to this, take a breath and let it into your soul. A woman who is articulate and clear about her vision of a community where it holds individuals’ struggles. Listen to the dream.

How do we move out of our isolation and loneliness to welcome vulnerability and being in relationship with others?

From the dining room table to a support group to an AA meeting, sitting and saying hello and goodbye to each other to bring comfort, growth, and ‘magic moments’ to our lives.

A shared passion to be together mindfully, just feeling vulnerable in a world with others, all while the other part of us that wants to isolate and is vulnerable to any kind of substance use, nicotine, tobacco, and the way in which companies feed off of that vulnerability.

An exploration of heart-centered therapy and how to hold people with great integrity while also caring for yourself.

Exploring the duality of when you see the pain and suffering of another, you will either lean towards love, compassion, and understanding or you will lean towards fear and you will not want to see it anymore. We are in a community at a time when we are right in the middle of that question. I hope we resolve it towards love.

There are times I am touched by the power of love, the power of connectedness, of seeing underneath. I invite you to listen to Dani, as she has gone through the experience of loving so deeply and so well that she lost herself and is now recalibrating how to be present and still hold onto her own heart, her own self.

Start by taking 15 minutes a day and just listen deeply to another human being.
