All Wounds is the final lead track from Anne Garner's upcoming album Dear Unknown, It follows singles Alma and Dust Devil, both of which have already enjoyed BBC and worldwide radio airplay. All Wounds is an emotionally intense torch-song, a bitter-sweet love-letter to survival and healing, and a quintessential example of Anne's honest and inspirational vocal and lyrical stance.

How we see the world is how we value it, says Ellen Davis. And poetry is a way to rediscover the lost art of being creatures. An hour of learning and slowing down, with the "Mad Farmer" poems of Wendell Berry and a new way to take in the "poetry" of Genesis.

"How To Be A Poet" by Wendell Berry

Zen master and poet Thich Nhat Hanh was forcibly exiled from his native country of Vietnam more than 40 years ago. We visited the Buddhist monk at a Christian conference center in a lakeside setting of rural Wisconsin. Here, Thich Nhat Hanh offers stark, gentle wisdom for living in a world of anger and violence. He discusses the concepts of "engaged Buddhism," "being peace," and "mindfulness."

Sylvia Boorstein reads "Keeping Quiet" by Pablo Neruda

In this recorded retreat, Pema Chödrön shares teachings inspired by the book Smile at Fear, which was written by her teacher Chogyam Trungpa. We all have fears, but when we look closely at them, we discover that behind each fear resides a basic fear of ourselves. We're afraid to look at our habitual styles of thinking and behaving because we might not always like what we see. Ironically it is this fear of honest self-reflection that keeps us trapped in patterns of stress and discontentment. Here is a vision for moving beyond this most basic fear to discover the innate bravery, trust, and joy that reside at the core of our being.

Smile At Fear with Pema Chodron Part 3 (Preview)

A woman distraught that her identity has been stolen questions the thought ‘The thief is unkind to me.’ Byron Katie guides her through inquiry to see how this thought affects many aspects of her well-being. When considering a turnaround to her original thought, the woman notices how unraveled she becomes when there is any stress in her life. ‘No,’ she exclaims, ‘I was not panicked by the thief—I was panicked by my thinking.’ ’When we really contemplate the judgments we make, we can see how they cost us our wisdom and our peace.’ Excerpt from a benefit event at Spirit Rock Meditation Center.

Everlasting - DavidWhyte

In this episode, questioners ask if expressing emotions is a good spiritual practice; if there are positive aspects of the separate self; who is the self that seeks happiness; and whether identification with the ‘I’ of experience is actually a subtle layer of the separate self. These dialogues are taken from Rupert Spira’s November 2019 weekend in Copenhagen, Sharing Our Being,and December 2019 retreat in Wales, Being Myself. For audio and video recordings of the full retreats and the entire library of Rupert Spira’s recordings and publications, as well as information about attending live and streamed events, please visit rupertspira.com. The perennial, non-dual understanding that lies at the heart of all the great religious and spiritual traditions – Advaita Vedanta, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism, Sufism, Taoism and Zen, among others – allows us to investigate the essential nature of our experience. In the simple knowing of our own being, we discover the source of the peace and happiness for which all people long above all else. &nbsp;

Episode 7: Conversations Exploring the Concept of the Separate Self

Groundbreaking Peabody Award-winning conversation about the big questions of meaning, hosted by Krista Tippett. Every Thursday a new discovery about the immensity of our lives — and frequent special features like poetry, music and Q + A with Krista.
