Original Love

An increasing number of people today feel disconnected, disengaged, and lonely. Many of us are seeking solace, beginning with ourselves.

Original Love is the secular spiritual handbook for inner peace we need to ease our troubles and find the highest possible happiness. Henry Shukman, spiritual director of Mountain Cloud Zen Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico, provides a way forward based on four paths—Mindfulness, Support, Absorption, and Awakening—that promote spiritual growth and healing through meditation for practitioners of any level.

And it works! Shukman includes inspiring stories from the students of his Original Love program that reveal how it has transformed their lives.
