The Tragic Tension Between Authenticity and Attachment / Compassionate Inquiry

Gabor will be presenting two sessions during the Harvest Kaplankaya event in Milas, Muğla, Turkey on May 14 and May 15, 2022.

May 14: The Tragic Tension Between Authenticity and Attachment:

Different points of view does not mean conflict. Disagreement doesn't mean conflict. We confuse ourselves with our point of view and feel threatened when there is an opposing point of view. How does it happen that we identify as our points of view? That identification is the loss of the authentic self,

Trauma Healing for World Peace
