Soul Journeys

One understands one's personal worth when one no longer identifies or defines oneself in terms of transient things. Every negative feeling is useful for our awareness and understanding. Every time you are unhappy you have added something to reality; you have added a demand, an expectation, a craving. Always. Livestreamed: 1/16/26

We're going through out time, and our time is a struggle. Take care of ourselves and each other. Understanding our darkness, embracing and tempering it. Coping with our brutality. Be clear, compassionate, kind, and courageous. Livestreamed: 1/13/26

Honored to be here. Feeling like we belong. Cultivating belonging and empathy through community and practice. How are we showing up for ourselves and others? "Be kind to everyone, for everyone you meet is having a rough day." Livestreamed: 1/9/26

"Those who know do not say; those who say, do not know." Scripture is a clue, a hint, a pointing in the direction of, not a definitive description. The highest form of talking about Divinity is to know that one does not know. All revelations, however insightful, are never more than a finger, pointing at the moon. Livestreamed: 1/9/26

Sleeping for as much of January as possible.The illusion of getting somewhere. The whole thing is right here, right now. A friend died recently, reminding me once again that we just don't know. Hit the ground in first gear... coast into reality. Livestreamed: 1/6/26

Guided meditation: new year, full moon, season of darkness, time to take care of ourselves. Integrating an intention practice which will allow us to evolve, change, and grow without judgement. Livestreamed: 1/2/26

Drop expectations. Drop demands. Protect ourselves from others actions. Be what we choose to be. It is not selfish to live your life as you see fit. It is selfish to demand that others live their life as you see fit. No one belongs to you. Everyone belongs to life. Remove the separation. When you drop your illusions and attachments you will know love and compassion. Livestreamed: 1/2/26

Returning from a holiday break. Noticing my dad's absence; contemplating the traditions and processing grief. Entering into semi-hibernation, be with the changes, and heal low-level trauma. Taking care of ourselves and each other, together. Belonging. Livestreamed: 12/30/25

Feeling the Gap. December is my third least favorite month! ;-) Putting one foot in front of the other.. even though I don't know where I'm going! Practice is not about doing anything. It's about being. We have arrived... in harmony with the nature of things. Livestreamed: 12/9/25

Death is not wrong! Gliding into the season of darkness. Considering Vipassana, silent meditation retreat. It's a good time to focus on taking care of ourselves and each other. Everyone is on their own trip. Livestreamed: 12/2/25

Guided breathwork, meditation, and relaxation at the Shala. Grateful we can come together to take care of ourselves, our hearts, minds, and spirits. Reminding ourselves of our many blessings. Livestreamed 11/28/25

There's actually nothing happening TO you! You are the witness of all that is happening. Pleasure arises, discompfort arises, it's not about you! It's not your actions, it's your being that counts! We see people and things not as they are, but as we are. Gratitude, saddness, and grief. Livestreamed:11/28/25
