2007-01-12 Metta For Self, Metta For The World 63:07
Metta to self is traditionally a starting point for Metta practice. Yet this is challenging for many of us as we work with our pain, judgments and demons. As we develop in Metta to self, we bring Metta out into the world, which deeply needs it. This requires a lot of creativity. We end by exploring the coverage needed to bring Metta into the world, and the need for a "tough metta" -- a Metta able to respond to difficult situations, a Metta that is neither passive nor a pushover.

2007-01-03 What Comes Next In Our Wild, Precious Lives? - part 1 57:24
In our lives we often ask: "What comes next?" in my practice, in my life. We may feel stuck, or energized but not know how to manifest concretely in our lives. We explore the nature of our wold unfolding and some practical ways to tune into "what wants to come next?"

Our practice "flies" through the two wings of the dharma - wisdom, clear seeing, and insight into the 4 truths; and compassion, the awakening of the heart. In between is the body of courage, that supports our action in the world.
