- Staying open and avoiding spiritual bypass
- Looking at our body and life clearly and directly
- The power of attention, noting, and spaciousness for diffusing our judgements and emotions

- Dealing with the unfinished business of grief, loss, loneliness, wounds
- How to handle worries or fantasies that keep looping over and over
- Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche and the tenderness and fearlessness of an Awakened Heart
- Why Buddha focused on humans as ‘five processes,’ rather than personalities

“To listen is to be awake in the present without moving away from or running away from what’s actually here.” – Jack Kornfield
“The only place to actually love another person, or a tree, or a living creature, or the earth itself, is when we’re here in the present.” – Jack Kornfield
