  • Pitfall! (Mindfulness and Insight Meditation Traps)

    Online event

    Like any path worth walking, our spiritual journeys are fraught with traps.

  • [RESCHEDULED] After Enlightenment, The Laundry (Please read description!)

    Online event

    --- UPDATE: RESCHEDULED FOR JUNE 19 --- I've received many requests to do another one of these, so here we are. 🙂 "After enlightenment, the laundry" is one of my favorite phrases.
