Kim Nataraja in conversation with Laurence Freeman on the book ‘Dancing with your Shadow’
Kim was a leading figure in setting up the WCCM School of Meditation and is a much loved and respected teacher in the community. Her book Dancing With Your Shadow aligns the spiritual and psychological dimensions of meditation and how they are strongly interwoven. In this series of talks she draws on the wisdom of her earlier work as it has further deepened over the years.
Kim will use her book as a way of helping people to make sense of this experience of the crisis we’re passing through and the importance of a spiritual path that we can follow, or deepen through this time of uncertainty and suffering. Kim will walk us through meditation and the essential role it plays in the time we live in at the moment.
