Radically Loved® with Rosie Acosta

Hi I’m Rosie Acosta. I am a Meditation Teacher; Speaker and Author of You Are Radically Loved: A healing journey to self-love. I grew up in East Los Angeles during the 92 La Riots and it set me on a troubled path for many years. I didn’t grow up with mentors in my life, so I turned to reading as many books as I possibly could to learn about life’s purpose. In my journey as a First Gen-Mexican American, I found having these conversations gave me insight, support, and inspiration. So, I decided to create a place where I could share these conversations with my community. The Radically Loved Podcast was born! How do we create a radically loved life? Come have a sit with me so we can discover all things mindfulness, spirituality, self-love, and overall healthy living. Please be sure to share the episodes that you love and also leave us a review!

Episode 129| Ethan Nichtern and The Dharma Of The Princess Bride 0
Jan 17, 2018

Ethan Nichtern is a Shastri, a senior teacher in the Shambhala Buddhist tradition, and currently senior teacher-in-residence for the Shambhala NYC community. He is the author of the acclaimed book The Road Home: A Contemporary Exploration of the Buddhist Path and most recently, The Dharma of The Princess Bride: What The Coolest Fairy Tale of Our Time Can Teach Us About Buddhism and Relationships.

 

I’m so excited to have Ethan on the show again to talk about all the ways this his book, The Dharma of The Princess Bride, relates to how we live our lives. Our conversation touches on transparency, the Trump era, and technology. Ethan is one of my favorite people and I’m so grateful he’s shared his thoughts with us.
