Healing and Liberation through True Compassion
Self-compassion is a powerful medicine that not only heals us, but awakens us to larger spiritual truths - when it is applied wisely. The safety and connection we create can catalyze a deep letting go throughout our being. Using a unique four-step method, Justin guides practitioners into an authentic, heart-felt experience of compassion. Then, he infuses it with wisdom teachings until it matures into an expansive and liberating repose - one that can be accessed in our daily lives.

Finding Safety in a Wounded World
The world can be a dangerous place, but with skillful practice, we can find inner safety within the chaos and help others do the same. By abiding within the deepest refuge inside, we can stay centered in ourselves, connected in our relationships, and be of service to those in need. Through lecture, guided meditation, and journal prompts, Justin helps us see how wise spiritual practice can create an unshakeable foundation for these extremely challenging times, and how this transforms our relationships and, eventually, will transform the world.
