Strength and vulnerability often seem to be at odds with one another. But is it possible to have both?
Shantigarbha explores the relationship between strength and vulnerability, showing how both can arise from important human needs such as empowerment, dignity, safety, connection, and contribution.

Through everyday examples and a simple practice, he offers ways to bring strength and vulnerability together while staying connected to our needs and open to others.
