Sunday, October 29, 2023 on Zoom: Our Actions as Legacy, Resistance, and Selfless Service
“Helping each other, collaborating, and caring, has been the single most formative force in our species development.” – Tara Brach
We have an innate part of our brain that is wired for humans are wired for connection. When our brain is integrated, we are able to connect with reason, logic, presence, and wisdom. This brings forth a sense of safety and belonging. This can be hard to access when we witness something disturbing, and are thrown into survival states. We often enter into a trance of reactivity. Our world feels much smaller and begins to circle around our own insecurities and fears.
Mindfulness plays a much larger role than solely contributing to our wellness. It helps us to better understand our suffering and how to find our way out of it. Mindfulness stimulates integration of the brain. We have the capacity to maintain our sense of connectedness, and not get lost in the pain of the world.
Together, we will tune into what really matters to our heart, and how we can feel motivated to deepen our sense of connection. Practice embodying what is lacking in our world right now. Embody the change you wish to see in this world. Through creative expression, discover our sense of tenderness and kindness. Our everyday actions are an extension of our legacy, an offering to the world.
