As humans face the darkness of fear, violence, and division, something else is also stirring: an awakening field of courage, care, and connection. 

This talk explores the primitive survival strategies that keep us in trance and the evolutionary currents of awakening that return us to belonging. Through reflection and practice, we are invited to nurture the river of love and justice moving through our world, and to step forward—together—into beloved community.
