DAY ONE
"Arriving in Embodied Presence"
Explore the foundations for compassion and well-being in this teaching session and guided meditation for breaking free from the trance of thinking and coming home to the here and now.
Maria Shriver’s life and career are driven by her fervent belief that everyone has the ability to be an “architect of change” and help to move humanity forward in their own way. In this interview with Tara Brach, learn more about Maria’s personal journey and how her understanding of the value of compassion has matured and unfolded.
Session highlights:
- The importance of acknowledging and processing our loss and grief
- Keeping things in healthy balance
- Meditation and writing as practices for making sense of our lives
- Accessing the divine feminine warrior within

Thinking about the time I thought I “wasn’t enough” at work, just to remind myself my work is fluid, I am benefited, my colleague is benefited and my team is benefited when we are sharing; we are learning, we are building. I don’t need to be “perfect”, I don’t need to take things personally. I will detach from this concept and remind myself I am worthy.
Joanie, I feel the same way you do at work. But like you said, we don’t need to be perfect, actually nobody is perfect! I guess we all have to remember that. So glad I am not the only person who thought like you did. 🙂
Thanks F Weiss. All the best to you. Joanie 🙂
When It want to become a psychotherapist. Now I see that it’s a new field for me and that I have you give myself time to grow and learn. Failure is the mud, the Lotus flower is the practice. Pauzing, do the visualisation of visiting the old me, think of an owl.
In social situations. I try to focus on what’s important. And try to stay true to myself.
Wonderful. Thank you.
As a divine feminine warrior coming into her own, Just what I needed to hear. Thank you Tara and Maria.
