Radical Self-Acceptance and Interconnectedness

Radical self-acceptance invites us to meet ourselves with compassion, even when we feel pulled between our values and our actions. From this ground of kindness, the illusion of separation begins to soften and we can experience the interconnectedness at the heart of Unitarian Universalist values. Through stories, reflection, and simple practices, this talk by Matthew Tift explores how self-compassion ripples outward into community and how belonging deepens when we release the demand for perfection.
