Talks

How can we best go about living when the world feels greatly disrupted at times and not just fall into despair. This talk was recorded on Zoom.

Talk 6-11-23: When The World Feels Greatly Disrupted

In meditation, we talk about letting go. But, what does it mean to let go? Most of the time, it’s not something we can simply say and then "poof," we let it go. Have a listen to this talk recorded live on Zoom at Sunday night meditation.

Talk on 2/18/24: Letting Go

With the fear factor high these days and likely to raise as the year goes on, it seems like a good time to strengthen our capacity to face fear. I am planning to continue talks and readings on the subject. Here is one from this past week.

Talk on 6/30/24: Fear Talk #1

This talk was given live on Zoom. A busy mind is exhausting and our thoughts can be very convincing. We tend to believe them. This talk reminds us why meditation practice helps us to not be a servant to our thoughts.
