Martin Luther King, Jr. once nominated Thich Nhat Hanh for a Nobel Peace Prize. And now the Vietnamese Zen master and poet is on a North American tour. Our encounter with him a decade ago has left a lasting imprint on us. In this radio pilgrimage, you’ll hear a rare, intimate conversation with him and with others who make use of his practical, lyrical teachings on finding buoyancy and "being peace" in a world of conflict.

Fear, Dread & Anxiety: The Buddha in the Forest

This is an emotional episode for Kathryn, as this was her last phone conversation with Michael, on May 8th 2017, before he passed away in mid July 2017. Kathryn and Michael were friends, collaborators on a popular online course called The New Wave of Yoga, and gym buddies when they were both living in Toronto. They inspired each other to expand the realm of practice, and to adopt new modalities. In this episode they talk about mindfulness, mental states, feelings, movement, and how to create a more lateral view of yoga. We hope you enjoy, its with a heavy heart we present this episode of the Mindful Strength Podcast.

Sandokai, Part 3: Remember One-ness in Everything You Do

Michael Stone begins talking about the death of his mentor, maverick psychologist James Hillman. When death comes the only thing that's important is your heart, not your accomplishments. So what really matters? Recorded on November 1, 2011.

So, What Really Matters?

It's cool to be kind - it's the new black dress. Lovingkindness is a ratio. If it's about you, it's about clinging. If it's only about the other, you lose yourself. The best kind of love is actually conditional. At the core of every heart, even those who cause trauma for others, is the desire to be happy. Recorded on November 29, 2011.
