Attachment

Hosted by actress and filmmaker Isabella Rossellini, AWAKEN Season 4 uses Himalayan art from the Rubin to illuminate how attachment relates to the ego, love, interdependence, and freedom, as well as describe the path to practicing non-attachment and what it looks like to realize, moment to moment. Insights from artists, writers, psychologists, poets, Buddhist teachers, and others reveal how releasing what no longer serves us creates space for new ways of seeing, thinking, and being.
