Creatively Companioning Distress- Jogen, Sensei

Episode Description from the Publisher

This talk explores the emotional and spiritual dimensions of caring for someone who is suffering, arguing that presence — flawed, tiring, and imperfect as it is — matters more than solutions. It also explores how our own inner work with fear, mortality, and discomfort directly shapes what we're able to offer someone else in their hardest moments. ★ Support this podcast ★
