To awaken, is to learn the art of living fully. We integrate mind, heart, body and reality. Everything we encounter, even suffering, can support the development of a wise heart and becoming a whole human being. We will explore how we can use the current conditions to cultivate awakened humanity and express that realization (or understanding?) through compassionate and loving action.
