We live in a turbulent time. Storms are everywhere, of every shape and size. And like every
generation before us, like every soul’s journey on Earth, we must learn the art of surviving
storms, so we can endure and build a better world.

The reason heartwork is so important in surviving storms is that, as a tree needs to
deepen its roots and widen its trunk to endure the force of unexpected storms, we need to
know our true self so we can deepen our roots and solidify our connection to all Spirit and
all life. Then, we, too, can endure the force of unexpected storms. This is especially
relevant now.

Every generation has its share of turbulence and chaos—personal storms,
relational storms, life storms. And all the traditions offer practices and resources to help
us be strong enough and kind enough to meet the challenges of our day. It is our turn to
rediscover these practices and resources in order to repair ourselves and our world. This is inner practice; heartwork. Join me and best-selling author, Mark Nepo!
