Revolutionary Love: A Conversation with ...

TARA BRACH
About this episode

In a divided, reactive, and violent world, how do we embrace love and joy? How do we genuinely include our opponents in our hearts? What gives us the courage to bring our whole being into serving and savoring? And what is our vision for a new world?

 

In this fresh and profoundly relevant conversation, Tara Brach and Valarie Kaur explore the challenges and potential of these turbulent times. Valarie, a Sikh activist, filmmaker, civil rights lawyer, and author, shares insights from her powerful books, including See No Stranger and her recent works, World of Wonder and Sage Warrior. Together, Tara and Valarie reflect on:

How Revolutionary Love can be a guide in times of division and despair.

  • Valarie’s ancestral teachings on surviving apocalyptic times with courage.
  • The role of joy, music, and community in building resilience and connection.
  • Forgiveness, reconciliation, and transforming anger into meaningful action.
  • Visioning a new world while staying rooted in hope, presence, and love.
