Mike’s Dharma Talk, 2020.11. 30

This is my dharma talk from the East Bay Healing Collective on November 30, 2020, about the holiday blues.  The winter holidays can be a focal point of emotional challenges for many, and the COVID period only heightens the sense of disconnection.  How do these struggles look in the lens of Buddhism? What would it mean to embrace our experience with the kind of deep self-compassion and self-allowing that supports genuine healing?

This is the quote sheet for the talk.
