“The love and understanding of a friend, like a deep well of the purest water, refreshes the very source of our being. If all religions and great ideologies disappeared and our one pursuit was friendship—unconditional friendliness with each other, our inner life, all nature—ah, what a world!”
—Tara Brach (from her book Radical Acceptance)
“When the world is seen with the eyes of a bodhisattva, there is no I and other, there is just us.”
—Jack Kornfield
Join two of the most beloved spiritual teachers of our time, Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield, for rich, inspiring teachings and honest dialogue on the power of spiritual friends. Using stories, teachings, practices, and heart-to-heart conversation, Tara and Jack share guidance on the importance of sangha, and of fostering meaningful and nourishing connections with others through the transformative power of meditation.
During the live online conversation, we explore:

- Ways we can find meaningful fellowship on the path
- How can we each deepen our capacity for spiritual friendship
- Honesty and vulnerability in spiritual friendship
