Hello everyone, I am excited about being in connection with this community of those seeking inner growth, compassion and peace. I am 59 years old. I was inspired 23 years ago to begin an inward journey that I hoped would heal my feelings of anxiety, depression and a pervading self hate. This journey began with Soto Zen practice. In more recent times I have added insight meditation, yoga, and the Internal Family Systems model. Presently I am beginning to experience more inner understanding and integration of my inner system of parts. I'm looking forward to learning more about how compassion can be accessed and drawn on for the healing of trauma during this upcoming event.
Kindly,
John
