A conversation on surrender as one way of meeting life, and how clenching and our attempts to control can constrict the aliveness we find in being with others, and of being in life as it is.
We explore how we might let ourselves take up our places in a participative engagement in life rather than insisting too strongly on our own plans. Through a friend's tears, a night of crisis, and a walk in the woods, we see that feeling and letting through can open onto something steady and trustworthy beneath our fear.
Hosted as always by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.
Our source for this week:
I can tell you that it takes great strength to surrender. You have to know that you are not going to collapse. Instead, you are going to open to a power that you don't even know, and it is going to come to meet you. In the process of healing, this is one of the huge things that I have discovered. People recognized the energy coming to meet them. When they opened to another energy, a love, a divine love, came through to meet them. That is what is known as grace. We all sing about amazing grace. It is a gift. I think that it comes through the (inner) work that we do.
