2019-10-03 Holding Grief Through Connection 56:18
James Baraz
Whether the climate crisis, some other social issue or personal loss, sharing our pain by connecting with another helps us hold and process our grief. By opening the heart we can transform our feeling of isolation into one of shared humanity. This talk ends with a guided experiential dyad exercise adapting Joanna Macy’s "Learning to See Each Other" meditation from Coming Back to Life.

2019-10-03 Die Kraft der Geduld 45:11
Renate Seifarth
Gleichmut ist die letzte der Brahmavihara. Der Vortrag betrachtet wie sie im Rahmen der Brahmavihara entwickelt wird, in welchem Zusammenhang sie mit den anderen drei Brahmavihara steht und welche Bedeutung Gleichmut in unserem Leben hat. Andererseits ist Gleichmut auch das Ergebnis von Weisheit, die wir durch Einsichten in der Vipassana-Praxis gewinnen. Und so schließt sich der Kreis der beiden Methoden.

2019-10-02 Meditation: Relaxing into Awake Awareness 19:15
Tara Brach
We realize our true nature by relaxing back into what is always, already here. Starting by scanning and opening through the body, we explore resting in the awareness that includes sounds, sensations and all of life. The guidance is, when we recognize thoughts, to simply relax back, and allow life to be just as it is.

2019-10-02 Spiritual Hope: Trusting Your Awakening Heart 47:55
Tara Brach
Our beliefs and understandings about reality directly impact our moment to moment experience of living. If we believe we will never change, that blocks the transformation that brings happiness and freedom. If we trust our spiritual unfolding and are open to possibility, that guides our attention and behaviors in ways that evolve us. This talk explores how to nurture mature, spiritual hope—hope that is sourced in trusting our intrinsic goodness, and our capacity for deepening love and wisdom.
