Example content imageNot Enlightened Enough: Dialogs in Germany with Steven Harrison


Live Recording

We're not spiritual enough.  We're not enlightened enough.

Dialogs with Steven Harrison

This audio download (previously available on cassette), consists of two live recordings.

Part 1: Giving Up on Improvement
What does it mean to abandon any hope of improvement and surrender to the actuality of life?
