Happiness versus Pleasantness
27:07
|
|
Cathy Small
|
|
| When we align our lives to seek pleasantness and avoid unpleasantness, we often miss the path to real happiness. In this talk, we explore why this is so, and the spiritual adjustments we can make in our lives to find a higher joy than getting our preferences. |

Reconnecting to Ourselves and Each Other in a World of Separation

Sebene Selassie

| True belonging — a sense of connection, freedom, and joy — is possible in any moment, in any circumstance, for anyone. However, true belonging is not a destination; it is the process of continually reconnecting to the present moment, including everything happening in our lives and in our world. In this current moment, we may be feeling the belonging of interconnection: Everyone in the world is in the same rough waters of a global pandemic. Every American is tied to the history of slavery and anti-Black racism. But we also may feel the separateness of varying circumstances: We have differing "boats" to traverse these waters. We may have benefited or been oppressed by systems of institutionalized white supremacy. We belong to it all. Our practice teaches us to recognize our differences while never letting go of our inherent interconnection. |

|
| The changing of the seasons offers an opportunity for reflection and letting go. An exploration of how we can consciously choose to let go of what no longer serves us to make space for our intentions moving forward. |
