2024-09-02 Opening Night - Coming Home to Ourselves (Retreat at Spirit Rock) 1:22:47
with Andrea Castillo, Diana Clark, Nikki Mirghafori, Tanya Wiser
Coming Home to Ourselves is about orienting towards our experience and then meeting our experience with an warm heart. To be "at home," means to be here, at ease, in the present moment. Often we're "not at home" because we are experiencing difficulties and feel like we have to go outside of ourselves to figure it out or perhaps we have patterns of avoiding or distracting ourselves. The journey of coming home and connecting with ourselves in a friendly way might be a radical one because it requires letting of the idea that what the heart is yearning for can be found outside of ourselves.
