Life moves on its own terms, often in ways we embrace with ease and joy, and at other times in ways that challenge our deepest truths. Love flows naturally when life aligns with our desires, yet in moments of resistance, frustration, or grief, it can feel far from reach. The invitation becomes this: how do we respond to life’s unfolding, even in its hardest moments, with a heart wide open to love?
In this 33-minute teaching from The Art of Sacred Intimacy, Austin, 2024, John guides participants into the practice of meeting life as it comes—joyful or painful—and responding from a place of embodied love and truth.
