Zen in the Chaos: Nurturing Inner Peace Amid Modern Turbulence with Oren Jay Sofer

<![CDATA[

The bells and whistles of modern life take a toll on humans mentally, physically, and emotionally. These burdens are exacerbated by the compulsion to resist and control the chaos because self-protection and the protection of our children are key motivators. But how do we create a sustainable, lasting transformation to quell modern turbulence?

To more deeply understand how we can realize zen in the chaos, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with Oren Jay Sofer, a Certified Trainer of Nonviolent Communication and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner.

Oren’s book, Your Heart Was Made for This: Contemplative Practices for Meeting a World in Crisis with Courage, Integrity, and Love is a guidebook for a year’s worth of contemplative practices. Oren highlights the twenty-six beautiful capacities humans have, the main themes of his book, and how to nurture inner peace amid the chaos.
