The Genuine in You

This weekend I've been pondering these words from the great civil rights leader, Howard Thurman, and I realise this is what I've been searching for most of my life. It has led to a study and appreciation of the great wisdom traditions and also to the works of Nancy Kline, Daisaku Ikeda, and Parker J Palmer where deep listening is a hallmark of their teaching.

Deep listening, to ourselves and each other, creates a space where we can connect with that inner voice that is "the genuine in each of us" and which, in the Buddhist tradition, is the inherent wisdom, compassion and courage that is our buddha nature.

If you would like to join a community seeking the genuine in you', do contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.
