The Path Back to Yourself | Tara Brach on Belonging and Connection (Part 3)

Tara Brach explores the journey of returning home to ourselves through love and presence. She invites us to contact the deep suffering of separation, those moments when we feel lost, unworthy, or disconnected, and to open to the rawness within our hearts. By learning to be present with the pain beneath the voices of self-judgment, doubt, and fear, we begin to awaken to the love that is always available to us.

Through stories, reflections, and contemplative guidance, Tara shows how opening to our own longing and the parts of ourselves we often reject allows us to receive love more fully. She also teaches how softening toward others, even those we judge, can open a path to compassion, belonging, and the experience of love flowing freely through our lives.

What you will learn in this session:
✨ How to recognize the subtle ways approval seeking and self-judgment shape our experience of love and connection
✨ Practices to open to the longing and pain within and allow it to become a doorway to presence and compassion
✨ Ways to soften toward yourself and others and awaken to the love that is already surrounding you

This talk is for anyone yearning to come home to themselves, to deepen mindfulness, nurture self-compassion, and open to love and connection in everyday life.
