Radical Self Acceptance

Dr. Tara Brach’s presenting her teachings on  Radical Self-acceptance; A Buddhist Guide to Freeing Yourself from Shame.

One of the deepest expressions of suffering is self aversion, a part of what Tara Brach calls the "the trance of unworthiness." Drawing on the wisdom of Buddhist teachings, illustrative stories and the transformative power of meditation, Tara guides us in healing the shame and fear that bind our hearts.

Hello Readers and Listeners,

This is Blue Murov, webmistress for KPFA Women's Magazine. I post the blog for KPFA Women's Magazine so I have the opportunity to listen every week. And every week I learn something new or find out about a news event, book, movie, play or music to check out. Always from a feminist and often from a queer viewpoint. Women's stories and women's voices come to us from all over the world through Women's Magazine. The discussions are informative and profound. So refreshing. Women's Magazine is produced solely by volunteers.

Right now KPFA is in our Spring Fund Drive, Keep KPFA Rising. Support KPFA so Women's Magazine can continue bringing you this fantastic program. Any amount is very much appreciated.
