103: Navigating Loss and Embracing Impermanence with Deborah Eden Tull


Listen Later

Join me in today's episode as we explore the profound teachings of Buddhism on navigating loss, grief, and uncertainty, especially in the wake of environmental disasters. I sit down with renowned zen mindfulness teacher and author, Deborah Eden Tull, who shares her harrowing experience of losing her home and nearly her life during Hurricane Helene. Eden reflects on the concept of impermanence, the power of community, and the balance between gentle and fierce compassion. We delve into the collective challenges we're facing and how to find stability and love in the midst of chaos. Whether you're dealing with personal transitions or simply seeking wisdom, this conversation is a beacon of hope and resilience.


About Eden:


Deborah Eden Tull, founder of the nonprofit Mindful Living Revolution, is Zen meditation/mindfulness teacher, author, and spiritual activist. She spent seven years as a monastic at a silent Zen Monastery, and has been immersed in sustainable communities for 25 years. Eden’s teaching style is grounded in compassionate awareness, non-duality, mindful inquiry, and an unwavering commitment to personal transformation. She teaches dharma intertwined with post-patriarchal thought and practices, resting upon a lived knowledge of our unity with the more than human world. She also facilitates The Work That Reconnects, as created by Buddhist scholar Joanna Macy. Eden has been practicing meditation for the past 30 years and teaching for over 20 years.
