Short Summary of the Four/Five Vipallasa & Guided Meditation including the 'Ten Subjects for Frequent Recollection' | Earthworm Practice for the Anthropocene IV | Online Wednesday-Morning

This closing talk distills the sixteen steps of the Ānāpānasati Sutta into what's most portable for daily life — calming the body, calming the mind, opening the heart, and letting go — offered as one continuous gesture rather than four separate teachings. We'll explore simple, concrete tools for carrying retreat-mind into ordinary moments, and extend the practice into patience and sīla as it meets daily relationship and speech. The talk closes with reflections on love, belonging, and letting go: what becomes possible once the hands are finally empty enough to receive what is already here.
