Sometimes we can get stuck in patterns that no longer serve us—whether in our personal lives, our relationships, or just in how we relate to the world.
Often, the root of this frustration comes down to how we see and understand things. When we lack insight, it’s easy to get caught up in cycles of worry, defensiveness, or confusion.
In this talk and meditation, guest teacher Oren Jay Sofer explores how insight—whether it’s personal insight about your emotions, relational insight about the dynamics between people, or a deeper understanding of life itself—can offer real relief. Through shared stories and examples, Oren looks at how insight allows us to step back from automatic reactions and old conditioning, so we can approach life with more clarity and ease.
