Following the Heart's Knowing: Living in Harmony with the Truth

Sunday, June 21

10:00am - 12:00pm

Offered In-Person & Online via Zoom

Please join us this Sunday, June 21 as Doug Pullin explores what it means to trust the heart’s deepest wisdom: Through mindfulness and wise attention, we begin to distinguish the voices of fear, habit, and conditioning from a deeper wisdom that emerges as the heart becomes grounded in reality. As practice matures, life becomes less about controlling experience and more about living in harmony with the truths of impermanence, interdependence, and freedom. Ajahn Chah once said, "You will come to a point in practice where the heart tells itself what to do." But how do we learn to hear that wisdom amidst the noise of conditioning? This talk explores what it means to trust the heart's deepest knowing and the freedom that arises when our lives are guided by wisdom, compassion, and integrity.
