How do we make room within and between ourselves for sitting with pain? For trusting apparent nonsense? For believing through mystery and bearing the unbearable? For converting suffering into meaning with gratitude and joy? How do we use our experience in a way that only humans can?
In each episode, we clinicians share a pearl of wisdom learned sitting with and tending to suffering — the pain, confusion, the conflict, a feeling of deficit or being broken — that can take up residence in our minds, hearts, and souls.
There is a way of listening for meaning from the heart that never fails. Join us in exploring the sacred space established when we connect... trusting the process and listening... for the love of truth.
