Letting Go of Clinging and Pain For a New Future
Channel: True North Insight / Voie boréale
Date: 2023-08-31

Steven skillfully downloads the dharma to us of Upadana and the concept of clinging. 

Why do we grip and hold onto pain? 
How can we let go to open ourselves up to a new future?  
Come find out for yourself! 

This dharmette is sandwiched by meditations on either end an answer to a question around queer drama as our communities come together again in person.

Thank you for supporting Steven's livelihood.
