2024-09-02 Opening Night - Coming Home to Ourselves (Retreat at Spirit Rock) 1:22:47
Nikki Mirghafori, Andrea Castillo, Diana Clark, 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.

2024-09-02 Monday night Dharma Talk: Love - craving versus the boundless heart. 46:27
Kate Munding
The word love, as it's used in the English language, is complicated in that it represents not only our capacity for unlimited, unconditional love but also unhealthy attachment and craving. The Buddha was clear about the pitfalls of craving, but he also pointed to the boundless heart, one free from unhealthy attachment, as part of the path of awakening
