• Mind Sanitizer

    Pandemics ... presidential primaries ... panic? Store shelves are more likely to have purple unicorns than Purell these days, but we can always give ourselves some housecleaning above the jawline. In this session, we'll look at skillfully managing uncertainty and turmoil; as usual, we'll follow with a sitting for about 30 minutes, and then have […]

  • Cutting Through Boredom with Mindfulness

    There's a very simple element of practice that we all possess, but often overlook. It provides focus, motivation, openness, and a genuine interest. This session will reveal and cultivate this critical element and is recommended for anyone wishing to begin, deepen, or re-commit to their practice. It will also explain what's up with all the […]

  • Dealing with Disillusionment

    Online event

    There's pain - and opportunity - when the rug has been pulled out from under us. Poorly managed pain leads to suffering; skillful seeing leads to a greater peace than the one we thought we lost. This session will be similar to our previous meetups: some quick intros, a brief talk, a 30ish-minute sitting, and […]

  • The Biggest Bitch of the Human Condition

    Online event

    The human condition has more than its share of quirks and gotchas. Let's look at how to turn the nastiest one to our advantage.

  • A Subtle But Powerful New Mindfulness Technique

    Online event

    I recently came across a new (to me!) mindfulness technique to share. It's very quick to describe, so we won't have the usual talk before we sit ... for those who enjoy the talks, there will be plenty of that in the psychology-meets-meditation overview in Mindfulness for the Professionally Anxious the following week. 😉 Instead, […]

  • Holding Space for Grief

    Online event

    I'm seeing more and more signs that many of us are moving into a grieving stage of our collective experience. Loss is perhaps the most painful example of the law of impermanence described by the Buddha, and confronting it is profoundly difficult. Learning how to make space for grief - whether for the loss of […]

  • Dealing with Dread

    Online event

    Dread is a special kind of crippling beast, heavy and suffocating. Let's examine a few ways we can lighten our load. This session will be similar to our previous meetups: some quick intros, a brief talk, a 30ish-minute sitting, and time for Q+A and general discussion. Please RSVP to see the Zoom link.

  • You’ve Got Some Nerve

    Online event

    If you're reading this, you've got some nerve. If you're thinking of joining us on Saturday, you've REALLY got some nerve. And if you actually DO join us ... well, I've got no words for that. No, wait; actually, I do. See you then! 😄 This session will be similar to our previous meetups: some […]

  • Judge Not?

    Online event

    Ah, judgment. Such a loaded term in spiritual circles! Can we ever stop judging ourselves and others? And if not, can we still ... y'know ... walk the path? In my experience, the answer is a resounding YES, and in this session I will share what brought me to that understanding. This session will be […]
