## Resource

What does it mean to keep your heart open when the world feels most dangerous? Tami Simon speaks with beloved meditation teacher Tara Brach—author of Radical Acceptance and Trusting the Gold —about her new inner workbook The Courageous Heart: Choosing to Love in Perilous Times . Tami and Tara discuss how to stay engaged without being overwhelmed, why grief is often the doorway to love, and what it takes to widen the circles of belonging in perilous times. This conversation offers genuine transmission—not just concepts about awakening, but the palpable presence of realized teachers exploring the growing edge of spiritual understanding together.
