2021-05-26 Being Embodied: Gateway to Aliveness and Spirit – Part 1 46:56
Tara Brach
All that we cherish—creativity, love, wisdom, realization—arises from an embodied presence. Yet as we know, the wounds and trauma of our society and individual lives leads toward dissociation. These two talks look at the challenges to awakening through our bodies, and the practices and teachings that guide us on the path.

2021-05-26 Going Forth to the Place of Realization 54:54
Ajahn Sucitto
Mind is always searching – in the personal, social and sensory realms – for solidity and satisfaction. But to find this, we must go forth – set aside the virtual world that we compulsively create and come into presence. This is the place of realization, where we meet what arises with the compassion, goodwill and discernment of the heart.

Jack Kornfield
Picture someone you care about, someone you love. Feel the natural well-wishing of love. Surround them with care: "May you be held in compassion. May your struggles and sorrows be eased. May your heart be at peace." Now imagine that this person wishes the same for you.

Nathan Glyde
A few simple ideas to keep the heart and mind open and receptive when pressure builds, instincts are flared, and patterns call us. Freedom is supported by good influences, and shape good effluences (outward-flows).

2021-05-22 The Power of Presence 38:16
Ajahn Sucitto
We seek steadiness and happiness from that which is inherently changing and unsteady – the constructed notions of future, past, myself and others. Withdraw from the tangle, acknowledge without getting involved. When you collect your heart with presence and acknowledge the tangle and the stress, there’s empathy rather than agitation. Good qualities naturally arise from that stable empathetic basis.

2021-05-22 A Wild Love for the World: Joanna Macy on Grief, Gratitude, and Belonging 1:32:11
Joanna Macy, Stephanie Kaza
The powerful COVID-19 virus teacher has brought us to the brink of widespread systems change and deep uncertainty about how things will unfold. There is a hunger for a more profound understanding of the links between ecosystem collapse and public health threats, between patterns of economic domination and racial injustice. Systems thinking and Buddhist views together offer skillful means for making sense of these interlocking calls for action.
