Tara’s retreat talks usually include an overview of many of her ‘greatest hits’. This one is no exception…

This talk examines how we get stuck in identifying as a separate, deficient self, and the way that a deep attention frees us from trance.

“The invitation of the Path is that we can wake up out of our stories of limitation and blame. We can listen to and touch the longing in us that really wants to love without holding back and live from freedom. And we can then look at what’s true within us so deeply that we discover the very awake, empty presence that is our essence. And we can live from that so that our lives become an expression of that realization. An expression of loving presence.”
