The Power of Surrender

With Deborah Eden Tull recorded on June 18, 2023.

Found our teachings useful? Help us continue our work and support your teachers with a donation. Here’s how.

The spiritual path requires our surrender – again and again. We surrender story, striving, preoccupation, and the illusion of separate self. We surrender all that is not Love.

  • How do we remember the power of surrender alongside resistance?
  • How do we recognize the emergent ground of Trust while navigating the unknown?
  • How can the liminality we face collectively be met with an unguarded heart?

This restorative teaching is inspired by Eden’s newest book Luminous Darkness: An Engaged Buddhist Approach to Meeting the Unknown.

    The Power of Change

    Recorded : June 21, 2020

    We wish for change. The time of the old is up. Its structures, habits and perspectives have lost their appeal. We sense the potential for something fresh to start. We can witness change. Feel victimized or beaten by it. Or find ways of empowerment and respond with wisdom. Meditation, mindfulness and reflection provide the tools…
