How does non-attachment awaken us to our interdependence? We cannot exist without each other and the world around us.

The concept of non-attachment seems particularly confounding in the context of love. How can we not be attached to the people closest to our hearts? It’s not about loving or not loving, but rather how we love. Openness and compassion are the foundation for not only loving without expectations and conditions but also loving in service of one another.

Releasing the Ego 27:16

Many of the challenges that arise with attachment are related to the ego: who you think you are and how you think others should feel about you. By holding onto our sense of self too tightly, we end up seeing ourselves as alone and separate from one another. How can loosening our grip on the ego help us step into the fundamental truth of our interconnectedness? AWAKEN Season 4 is hosted by actress and filmmaker Isabella Rossellini.

It’s almost impossible to have no attachments. So what does non-attachment actually mean? Depending on the context, it can be easily misunderstood.

To understand non-attachment, we first have to understand attachment. It’s a fundamental part of the human experience.
