In this two-part series, we reflect on the power of devotion as a gateway to awakening that reconnects us with what we love most deeply. Together, we'll look at how prayer and heartfelt longing can open us to the intrinsic experience of belonging we yearn for. Especially in these times of fear and division, cultivating our natural devotion helps us soften, remember our true nature, and realign with love. In this talk, Tara explores:

• The essence of devotional practice as a gateway to belonging and spiritual awakening.
• How longing and sincere intention can guide us back to our true nature.
• Prayer as the bridge between longing and belonging
• The difference between substitutes for love and true aspirations that arise from presence.
• Tracing desire inward as a practice to reconnect with the source of love and aliveness.
