Authentic Awakening from Thomas Huebl

Awakening is often depicted as an opening to the love and light within us but the truth is that real awakening is an embrace of ALL of who we are. In this pioneering dialogue, Stephen Dinan (CEO of The Shift Network) will host as Thomas is joined by Sally Kempton (one of today’s most respected respected spiritual teachers) and Tami Simon (CEO of Sounds True), for an exploration of the shadow dimensions of awakening: what we need to see in ourselves, the process of shadow integration, and observing the shadow in our search for enlightenment. This is bound to be a thought-provoking dialogue that helps you avoid many pitfalls on the path.
