This talk offers three interrelated strategies that can serve us when we’re triggered by stress, and help us find our way back to our natural wisdom, empathy and wholeness of being. By de-conditioning habitual reactivity, we are increasingly able to respond to our life circumstances in ways that serve healing and awakening.

Tara explores how habitual thought patterns can narrow our experience of life, creating:
▪️An unreal self — where we get lost in stories about who we “should” be.
▪️An unreal other — where our perceptions of people are shaped more by bias and assumption than by who they truly are.
▪️An unreal life — where our expectations and cultural pressures prevent us from living fully in each moment.
