Summary
(Part 2 of 2) My guest in this episode is Jude, whose 95-year-old mother keeps wanting to include her in her mental torment scripts. As Jude and I delve into the depths of her mother’s torment, listen in to what she discovers and to what has really been causing her own torment with her mother. Together let’s witness and experience what freedom from suffering actually looks like. Relax, get still, settle in, and let’s do some self-inquiry.
Tuesday, and Wednesday, 9am/PT on Zoom,
