Caverly Morgan: The Heart of Who We Are

"When Caverly Morgan reentered society after eight years as a Zen monk, she was confronted with a question many of us are asking these days: Considering the enormity of the problems before us, how can one individual's spiritual practice make a tangible difference in our world? Tami Simon speaks with Caverly about her new book, The Heart of Who We Are, and the connection between self-realization and collective transformation. They explore these topics and more: the difference between the absolute and the relative; introducing teens to inquiry practice; self-improvement vs. self-realization; the core experience of who we are in our depths; the power of community; meeting our deepest needs; "changing costumes within the dance of suffering"; connecting with others "essence to essence"; broadening public access to contemplative practices; escaping the trap of perfectionism; letting go of our conditioning, individually and collectively; egoic behaviors versus "acts of being.""Meditation teacher, non-profit founder, speaker, and author Caverly Morgan is the founder of Peace in Schools, a nonprofit that created the nation's first for-credit mindfulness class in public high schools.
