This short breath-based meditation will help you gather your attention and cultivate relaxed, open awareness.

This talk explores how you can see more clearly into qualities of the heart and mind that may feel real but aren’t true.

You’ll learn how the states of love, kindness, compassion, joy and equanimity, on examination, can have a shadow and as you get clearer in these distinctions you can dramatically enhance your sense of intimacy and aliveness.

This talk explores how associating with like-minded people can change your life.

You’ll learn how intimacy and relationships are hard-wired into your nervous system, how you may tend to sacrifice something important in order to belong, how you can fully be yourself and at the same time, contribute at a high level and how realizing the truth of inter-connectedness is key to liberation.

This meditation begins by attuning to who you are as the one who is aware. 

You’ll explore a few minutes of concentration on breath, move into deep relaxation, select an anchor and observe what changes.  Toward the end of this meditation you’ll refresh the practice and explore non-doing, non-fixing and spacious, open presence.

This talk explores how the practice  of ‘non-fixing’ can open new possibilities in your life.

You’ll learn how life is generally built on a wrong assumption and how, despite your skill in getting things done and getting better and better at fixing what you perceive to be wrong, pausing and exploring an alternative question can open you to creativity, flow and spaciousness.

This talk explores how you can convert anger into wise action.

You’ll learn what happens inside when you are angry, the consequences of not addressing this challenging emotion, how to work with anger when it arises and some thoughts as to how to navigate these challenging times without your head exploding.

This talk explores how you can learn to forgive.

You’ll learn about the consequences of not forgiving, the ‘how’ of forgiveness practice and what it’s like to live with a more open heart. 

This talk explores how to ease the grip of the ego.

You’ll learn the key characteristics of living in fixed sense of self, how to wake up to a more expansive sense of presence in the midst of a busy life and what it means to be free of the dominating grip of the ego.

This talk explores how you can make a difference in the world knowing you are still a work in progress.

You’ll learn about the archetype of the wounded healer, how you unconsciously respond to stress and suffering and what it means to embrace your imperfections as a way of waking up to the fullness of your life and in service to all.

This talk explores how you can tap into the intimate power of devotion.

You’ll learn how devotion can be a ‘direct path,’ what the Buddha taught about devotion, the shadow-side of the practice and how to develop devotion when you’re not wired that way.
