Ideas worth spreading

How to make hearts dance again

Vira Salzburn |

TEDxSavannah

• June 2022

Vira Salzburn tells the story of her Ukrainian grandmother’s act of self-compassion and her own healing. When we are hurt, it is as if an arrow has pierced our hearts, but we then shoot ourselves with a second arrow of self-blame. With mindful self-compassion we can experience love and find hope.
