2022-04-24 The One Unchanging Thing 46:28
Amita Schmidt
In times of difficulty and change, it is important to orient to what doesn't change, what is deathless. This talk gives you some tools/reminders on how to access the one unchanging thing. The talk also offers ways to unhook from your story and the mind's constant narrative.
2022-04-26 Unwavering Mind 20:53
Ayya Medhanandi
To directly know Truth, we enter the depths of the vast ocean of the mind. We refine our attention and focus it like a laser beam. In the knowing of knowing itself, impermanence is revealed together with the inherent suffering of the conditioned world and the intrinsic emptiness of everything everywhere. In the starkness of this Reality, unwavering awareness sees all that we cling to as nothing while ego capitulates to liberating insight.
2022-04-27 Body and nature: doorways to freedom 50:53
Roxanne Dault
2022-04-27 Meditation: Awareness is Our Home (21:31 min.) 21:31
Tara Brach
This guided practice helps us come into our senses through a body scan. We then rest in the awareness that is listening to and feeling the changing flow of experience. When the mind drifts, the return is a relaxing back to our senses, and to the sea of awareness that includes and experiences the waves of life.
2022-04-27 Compassion – Part 2 of Present Heart: The Universal Expressions of Love 52:03
Tara Brach
Part 2: Compassion – the tender resonance of heart – awakens as we allow ourselves to be touched by our shared vulnerability. This series reflects on four primary expressions of an awake, wise heart: lovingkindness, compassion, joy and equanimity. In each talk we explore the habitual patterning that blocks our full realization of these innate capacities, and the understandings and practices that nurture their unfolding.

Bhante Sujato
From Harris Park. Mettā meditation towards one's skeleton using both visualisation and feeling. Discussion of corporeality and the mind, the sentient body, the role of the breath, the senses. Awareness and peace as a continuum.

2022-04-30 The True Norm Releases the World 50:26
Ajahn Sucitto
Dhammas arising internally and externally merge eventually in a stable point – this is how it is now. We see the craving and becoming and release them in favour of the true assembly.
2022-05-01 Karma- Specific, Conditionality the Five Laws, ethical behaviour, social karma-Neoliberalism 53:24
Bhante Bodhidhamma
date estimated - Forgot to say towards the end of this talk that since Neoliberalism is powered by greed, it is by nature insatiable. The investment in wealth and power will make it very difficult to change to a more socially based capitalism.
