This podcast is a recording from a Dharma Dialogues session with Catherine that originally occurred in Ojai, California in 2009.  In years past it was produced on CD and MP3 and has now been re-mastered for use as a podcast.  Although some of the references are cultural or news events from that time, Catherine’s message in these conversations is timeless. Just as neurotic thought can become a conditioned habit, so can the experience of clear and simple awareness.

A public talk Catherine gave on Maui in January of 2010.  In  it she elaborates on seven qualities that naturally occur when one’s mind is at ease and clear.  These qualities form the basis of Catherine’s second book, Passionate Presence, which was published in 2003.

Catherine considers Shakespeare’s famous line in the context of ending one’s life, the reasons why this is rarely acceptable, and a reframing of the question itself.  Recorded on August 31 in Victoria, Australia.

A direct message from Catherine discussing what can happen when we clash in values and views with old friends with whom we once agreed on all substantial matters. Recorded on August 13, 2022 in Victoria, Australia.

An Ask-Me-Anything podcast recorded on August 16, 2022.  Catherine addresses, among other topics, the question of what awareness might remain when our brain functions are diminished.
