In this talk, we’ll explore what it truly means to find refuge—not through controlling life, but by coming home to the living truth of our experience.
Our deepest refuge—the source of peace, safety, and freedom—is discovered through direct realization of reality itself. Drawing on the Buddhist understanding of refuge, we explore three timeless and archetypal gateways:
- Awareness (Buddha) — the wakeful presence that knows our experience
- Truth (Dharma) — the wisdom that liberates us when we see clearly
- Love (Sangha) — the tenderness and belonging that arise through connection
Through short guided reflections, we practice opening to each of these portals, allowing refuge to become a lived and embodied experience rather than an abstract idea.
This talk is especially supportive if you are:
- Seeking inner peace during times of uncertainty or stress
- Exploring mindfulness, meditation, or Buddhist teachings
- Longing for a deeper sense of belonging and spiritual homecoming
- Interested in awakening compassion and wise awareness in daily life
