Episode 5: Tara Brach talks about the edge of the roof

"What will it take to have us collectively awaken to the suffering of the earth?"  In this episode of the #earthconversepodcast, I bring in the distinctive Western Buddhist voice of meditation teacher, psychologist and author, Tara Brach.  One of those people who have been an important influence in my life,  whom I have never met.  (17 mins). Specifically, I draw out the essence of one of her talks, Earth’s Crisis: on the edge of the roof  https://www.tarabrach.com/earths-crisis-edge/ where she asks - what will it take to have us collectively awaken to the suffering of the earth?  In doing so, with the help of Rumi, she explores egoic trance and the inner practices of presence that enable us to respond from love and wisdom.
