Jessica Morey returns, just in time to keep Cara Lai and I from burning this disco down.

Jessica Morey will offer us a meditation on identifying, being with, and caring for our needs, starting from the fundament--our own bodies.

Welcome to the first episode in our series on when—if ever—is the appropriate time to try to make your baby Buddhist. It's probably a terrible idea, but who knows?

In this guided practice, Cara asks, What if we could scrape the very gunk of life off the surface of the present moment and dump it straight into our practice?

In today’s episode, we ask, Do humans have an instinctual orientation towards compassion, kindness, and love—or do we only get there by pushing past our darker impulses?

Jess leads us in a riff on “metta” or “loving-kindness” practice, in which we are invited to imagine an ideal mother figure, as a way of calling forth the ideal maternal qualities that may be hiding in our own minds and hearts.

In today’s episode, I seem to have no idea what I’m getting myself into when I ask Jess and Cara to comment on whether my son’s insistence that I speak to him through a monkey-shaped hand-puppet is a peculiarity capable of  revealing any dhamma-adjacent truths.

Jess gifts us with a meditation especially designed for parents, who may already feel like they’re figure-skating on the edge of a razor blade, and don’t need their meditation practice to be one more veldt they have to hack through.

In this episode's conversational free-for-all, Jess and I crack open a veritable candy-sack of topics related to the dhamma of parenting.

Jess offers a meditation on learning to love this giant impermanent thing called parenting.
