Summary

Simon Brown returns for a master class on compassion and how it can never be separated from the deepest insights into the non-dual nature of reality itself. We talk about how compassion and suffering could matter if this world is a kind of illusion, the distinction between empathy and compassion as it relates to burnout, dorsal and ventral vagal mechanisms related to deep trauma conditioning, the true meaning of Christmas and the holiday season and MUCH more.
