Opening to Darkness: Being with the Absence of Light with Zenju Manuel #IATELIVE with Tami Simon

Sounds True founder and CEO Tami Simon and Osho Zenju Earthlyn Manuel, author, poet, ordained Buddhist priest, teacher, and artist, sit down for an inspiring interview about the spiritual pilgrimage of choosing to go deeper into darkness. They explore Manuel’s book “Opening to Darkness.” Drawing on ideas from the ancient wisdom found in Zen Buddhism and African and Native American indigenous traditions, Osho Zenju reveals how a change in perspective and increased wisdom can help us awaken to the sacredness of dark experiences in our lives―so we may experience a reality beyond avoidance and fear. She challenges us to find what lies beyond our longing for light.
