In this Dharma talk, devon hase explores equanimity not as indifference or withdrawal, but as a source of clarity, compassion, and courageous engagement with the world. Drawing on stories from Joseph Goldstein, Mingyur Rinpoche, and other beloved teachers, she invites us to discover the unshakable center from which wise action becomes possible.

Teachings and practice on the third tetrad of Anapana sati.

This talk follows the breath into the mind itself: experiencing it, gladdening it, gathering it, and liberating it. Along the way we look at how samādhi and insight work together, and at the small, ordinary tastes of freedom that show a mind can feel light and unburdened. Drawing on long retreat stories, poems, and Pali, it asks what becomes possible once there is, for a moment, nothing to want.

Teachings on setting the conditions for anapanasati - having gone to the forest, or to the root of a tree, or an empty hut, one sets their body erect, and places mindfulness at the fore. Ever mindful one breathes in, ever mindful one breathes out. Guided meditation on the breath.

Teachings on recognizing the metta that is already here in the body followed by a meditation.

A talk on muditā, the joy that isn't ours alone. After days steadying the heart through warmth, tenderness, and spaciousness, we turn toward the brahma vihara most easily overlooked: the capacity to feel glad simply because someone else is. Through stories of borrowed delight, dancing tigers, and the quiet gladness of showing up to practice, we look at what gets in the way (envy, and its louder cousin, toxic cheer) and what it might mean to let another's happiness warm us too.

Teachings and Guided Practice on practicing loving-kindness for oneself.

Teachings and guided practice on settling, integrating, arriving.

Teachings and Guided Meditation on Metta for a Friend

A dharma talk exploring anattā through the five aggregates and the Anattālakkhaṇa Sutta, alongside Anāthapiṇḍika's deathbed teaching from Sāriputta. Weaves impermanence and death contemplation together with not-self - drawing on Thanissaro Bhikkhu's pragmatic (not metaphysical) framing of not-self - and closes with mettā as the natural fruit of a loosened, undefended heart.
