Brought to you by Lion’s Roar Dharma Center in Sacramento, California, this show is dedicated to exploring the human experience through a dharma lens. Each week, sangha friends Jac and Daniel will introduce an engaging and sometimes challenging theme. Occasionally there are interviews with other sangha members and special guests. You are invited to listen in as they discuss their lives and the path and how they are navigating life’s ups and downs. Whether the conversations are tender and raw or happy and light, through the process of debate and dialogue, ”Talk Openly” will challenge us to expand our vision and open our hearts to the way things actually are.
