Matthew Hepburn
2023-04-26 Meditation: Embodied Spirit 16:54
Tara Brach
Experiencing our aliveness through our senses is the gateway to resting in formless loving presence. This meditation guides us to awakening through our body, and recognizing the backdrop of silence, of awake awareness, that is the source of all being.
2023-04-26 Cultivating Loving Kindness – Seeing the Goodness 56:51
Tara Brach
The ground of loving kindness is seeing the basic goodness in ourselves, each other and our world. This is what gives rise to pure appreciation, friendliness, love and the felt-sense of belonging. In this talk we explore what obscures and contracts our perceptual field, and the pathway of purposefully awakening this transformational capacity of cherishing all life.

2023-05-03 How kamma can be directly sensed and released 30:37
Ajahn Sucitto
We build awareness of the many ways in which heart intentions are responses to energy streams. Goodwill and selflessness are key to shedding the ‘me’ sense and understanding the power of the streams that create it.
2023-05-03 Meditation: Embodying Acceptance and Care 15:53
Tara Brach
This guided meditation helps us cultivate a friendly relationship with our experience. Using the image of a smile, we bring a gentle presence alive in our bodies, and then open to the heartspace that includes all facets of life. The meditation closes with a verse from poet, Dorothy Hunt, “Peace is this Moment Without Judgment.”
