Emotions - Retreat Talk Sep 2024, Part I
In this profoundly illuminating talk, filmed in September 2024 at a True Freedom retreat in Northern California, Artem discusses the most underappreciated and at the same time the most important aspect of the spiritual journey - the emotional pain and suffering of the ego and the extraordinary power of awareness to transmute it into peace, understanding and love.
