Wanter Dynamics & The Love We Are
by Mitch Rosacker
Welcome to Planet Earth. It's buck wild here! In "Wanter Dynamics & The Love We Are" we'll explore the dynamic play of perspectives—the ongoing movement between The Wanter and our True Nature. We'll look at how it plays out in the everyday, and how easy it can be to get caught in it without even realizing we've been pulled in. We'll then explore some of the ancient practices that give us the chance to pause, notice, and rest back into something deeper. The war can be over—against our Wanter, and against others when they're in theirs. Then we can play, then we take care of each other, we honor each other, and we love each other. It is here that we realize that all along we are the love we've been looking for.
