  • The pain and ache of longing, and the inevitability of it as humans

  • The distinction between the content of our longings and Longing itself

  • The human tendency to chase after the longings, as symbolized by hungry ghosts

  •  The clarity, awe, love and truth that comes with being with longing, especially in community

  • How contemporary and ancient mystics, from Rumi and Hafiz to John O’Donohue and Michael Mead have recognized the power and portals of longing

  • How our heart’s longing can lift our chins up to our north stars, our purpose and highest values

  • The interconnection between longing, desire and needs, values

  • The shame that comes up with honoring our longing amidst the oppressive systems we live in

  • The invitation be with our longing, to look beneath the content of our longings, and let it inform and illuminate the way, and to do so in community

  • How now is the urgent time to be in alignment with our values and purpose. To center our heart wisdom and guiding principles amidst all the darkness and suffering in the world.
