An interview for A Curious Yoga about my spiritual path
Where to put my trust?
Why do we need trust so badly that we are looking for it day and night?
What happens when we don’t trust?
In this course we will step by step investigate the power and pitfalls of trust.
Through self-inquiry, dialogue, guided meditations and homework, we will observe, understand, and layer by layer peal back our constructions of belief, thoughts, concepts and the conditioned strategies for trust that has grown out of them. We will see what serves us and what does not serve us.
We will ask the ultimate question : What can we trust?
