Presence and Compassion in a Violent World

Category: Music
Duration: 01:01:04

Description:

As our societies unravel in fear and reactivity, we are called to live from our most awake and wise heart. This talk and meditation was first offered to Satyam, a community of Palestinians, Israelis, and internationals devoted to creating a future of justice, safety, freedom, and dignity for all. It invites us to move beyond the conditioning of “bad-othering,” and to cultivate clarity, compassion, and the capacity to respond in ways that seed healing.

 

In this talk, Tara explores: 

  • how the trance of “bad othering” fuels division and how compassion can free us from blame.
  • the practice of the U-turn—turning inward with kindness to transform anger, fear, and grief into care.
  • the balance of a “strong back and soft front,” cultivating courage and tenderness in times of violence.
  • how seeing the suffering beneath harmful actions allows us to meet others with wise compassion.
  • how presence, RAIN practice, and shared belonging can guide us toward healing and peace.
