Tara Brach in Los Angeles (Jan. 29)

Tara Brach (insightLA); Dhr. Seven, Ananda (Dharma Buddhist Meditation), Wisdom Quarterly

Join an evening of teaching and practice with Tara Brach. It's in celebration of her new book, Radical Compassion: Learning to Love Yourself and Your World with the Practice of RAIN.

In addition to toxic self-blame, we humans have an evolutionarily-driven tendency to create “bad others” and to cause each other harm.

I'm trying to find myself. Sure I was right here.
Our species is also on a trajectory towards greater compassion and collaboration -- a pathway we can actively facilitate through deliberate practice.

This evening talk explores how the practice of RAIN — a weave of mindfulness and compassion — can undo our primitive fear-based reactivity, reveal our mutual belonging, and awaken our hearts. More
