Our personal suffering is often a sacred initiation into a deeper experience of who we are as people, and why we’re on the earth. Today, Marianne will explore the origins of deep sadness through a spiritual lens, in order to illumine the path that leads beyond.

• Emotional torment — why is such suffering a part of our experience? What does it mean? And how can we survive it and even transcend it?
• What is the response to suffering at the heart of all great religious teachings?
• Why is it important to be fully available to our suffering, as opposed to suppressing it or numbing it?
• Why has our suffering become a profit center for the pharmaceutical industry?
• What is the relationship between our suffering as individuals and the collective forces that are depressing us all?
• What is the role of forgiveness and love in freeing us from our pain? What are the spiritual principles that deliver us to happiness, and how do we apply them?
