- Kaira Jewel Lingo: From Separation to Belonging: Abiding in Earth's Wisdom (Retreat at Spirit Rock)(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) This talk explores how slowing down, coming into the body, and paying attention to the living world around us can help heal the sense of separation so many of us carry. Drawing from Buddhist practice, we’ll reflect on how presence, embodiment, and relationship with the Earth can open the heart and deepen our capacity for love. At its core, this is an invitation to fall back in love with the Earth — not as an idea, but as a living relationship that can sustain and transform us.53 min

- Kaira Jewel Lingo: Equanimity Meditation(Insight Meditation Society - Retreat Center) This meditation explores upekkhā, or equanimity—the deep steadiness of heart that meets life’s joys and sorrows with wisdom and care. Through reflections, guided phrases, and a progression of categories (from self, to loved one, neutral person, difficult person and finally all beings), we cultivate balance and spaciousness in the face of life’s ever-changing conditions. Rooted in the Brahmavihārā tradition, this practice invites us to rest in the truth that all beings are moving through causes and conditions beyond our control.46 min
- Kaira Jewel Lingo: Mindfulness of Thoughts(Insight Meditation Society - Retreat Center) In this talk, we explore mindfulness of thoughts as part of the third foundation of mindfulness—learning to meet thoughts not as distractions or enemies, but as present-moment experiences to observe with curiosity and care. Through guided practice and teachings, we investigate the nature of thinking, including how to relate to repetitive or difficult thoughts with clarity and compassion. By developing this skill, we discover a deeper steadiness and freedom in the midst of the mind’s activity.53 min
- Kaira Jewel Lingo: Introduction to the Brahmaviharas and the Practice of Metta(Insight Meditation Society - Retreat Center) We begin with a song and for the first half hour Kaira Jewel gives a brief overview the Four Brahmaviharas followed by an introduction to the practice of metta: what it is, how it can transform our lives, what some of the challenges are and then how to practice with the categories and the phrases. Then in the second half hour Kaira Jewel leads a guided metta meditation offering metta to ourselves, our benefactor and a dear friend.59 min
- Kaira Jewel Lingo: The Power and Freedom of Equanimity in Polarized Times(Insight Meditation Society - Retreat Center) In this talk we explore the power of equanimity to help us remain steady and spacious in the face of life's ups and downs. Trusting, relaxing and letting go all help us to see we don't have to hold the challenges of life alone, we can open to the larger mystery holding us all. We also look at how to engage with the suffering and injustice of our world, to practice sacred criticism, and depolarizing ourselves and our communities. We take inspiration from the Civil Rights Movement and their practices of self-emptying and how we can give our whole hearts to the task and then let go of attachment to the outcome. Kaira Jewel ends by singing the poem Recommendation by Thich Nhat Hanh.1 hr 1 min
