We allow ourselves to acknowledge our weariness, our sorrow for the pain of the world, the ways that life has weighed upon us. We lay our burdens down in a safe, contained space, drawing on teachings & rituals from Buddhism, Judaism, and indigenous wisdom. We find sanctuary and rerill our cup.

Having taken refuge, we cultivate the strength, fearlessness, and creative energy to step up and discover and express what is ours to do in this world. We grapple with the "Reluctant Prophet" syndrome and engage in Tikkun Olam, the "repair of the world." Luminous exemplars of loving service, such as Teresa of Avila and the bodhisattvas of compassion, light our path.

We immerse ourselves in the ecstatic poetry of the love-mystics across the spiritual traditions, opening to both the fire of longing and the bliss of union. We explore the connection between human heartbreak and yearning for God, how grief can be a portal to connection. We rekindle our passion for the Beloved.
Duration: 1 hours, 29 minutes
