One Space and the Illusion of Separation

Un solo espacio y la ilusión de la separación

A meditation on the single, boundless space in which all experience appears, followed by dialogues exploring social anxiety in eye contact, the cost of people-pleasing during illness, loss of interest in life, and an unexpected opening to feeling that reaches into generational healing. Throughout, the teacher returns to the difference between interpretation and reality, and the freedom available when beliefs about separation are seen through.
