This talk explores attuning to connection as a practice of relational mindfulness, moving from inner awareness toward presence with another person in real time. Grounded in the dharma teachings of mutuality, interbeing, and dependent origination, we highlight how awakening is nurtured through community and the ways our lives are deeply interwoven.

Prompt: What is a place that makes you feel small but deeply connected?

Talk segment that complements the sitting portion on Attuning to Connection.
