Rather than rushing toward answers, this practice honors the power of open questions, trusting that even unanswered longings are already at work within you. Drawing on the wisdom of Jack Kornfield and Sister Thea Bowman, this session frames intention as the compass of the heart—quietly orienting your thoughts, emotions, and actions throughout the day.

You are invited to name a simple, grounded intention—listening deeply, moving with kindness, and remembering our shared human longing for happiness and freedom from suffering. This brief but foundational practice sets the tone for compassion as a way of being, not just something we do, allowing each day to unfold from greater awareness, gratitude, and care.
