How Hope Can Heal and Free Us – Part 2

TARA BRACH
About this episode

How Hope Can Heal and Free Us – Part 2 - The mature expression of hope includes three elements: the aspiration for manifesting our full potential, a trust that this is possible, and an energy that engages to serve this unfolding. In this talk, we explore the importance of hope on the spiritual path, its shadow side, and how we can nourish hope through these three elements in a way that serves inner freedom and the healing of our world.

Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground. ~ Rumi
