Oh my gosh! This talk has been made for me. It was like listening to my own holy spirit speaking through Lerita’s words. Thank you Tom, I appreciate all you have done for the contemplative community. 🙏🏼😌

Transformative. I’m so excited to have found this talk. Thank you for sharing. 🙏

Very interesting!

Fascinating content, thank you🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻As an interview maybe a bit too long, splitting it in two might make it easier...

An outstanding interview. Thank you so much for posting it here. I plan to listen at least once more, plus check out the show notes on your website. I did not know about either Dr Brown or Howard Thurman. I have been following Ruth King, a person of color and Buddhist nun. I recently read her book, Mindful of Race. She also speaks of social activism and spiritual practice, from a slightly different perspective. You may find her work interesting as well.
