Taking the Exquisite Risk (with Simon Brown)
A spontaneous conversation between two friends walking the path together. Why 'you're already awake' can be harmful, the impossibility of bypassing the hard painful work, K-Pop Demon Hunters as dharma transmission, and much more. Full video here.

Here's our earlier podcast on trauma.
And here's our prior talk on compassion.
