2025-10-11 Ordinary Love 40:20
Devon Hase
In this evening talk, devon hase reflects on metta as a simple act of caring — the willingness to stay close to our own experience, even when it feels plain or uncertain. Through stories of early practice, pilgrimage, and everyday kindness, she shows how love reveals itself in ordinary moments, asking nothing special of us beyond our presence.

2025-10-09 Navigating the Truth of Suffering 44:34
James Baraz
Suffering is the Buddha's 1st Noble Truth. Sometimes it can feel like it's all too much, especially in these days of extreme unpredictability. Legitimate reactions of anger, confusion and discouragement can lead to feeling of hopelessness or resigned acceptance. How can we use the practice to not only skillfully hold those feelings, but to transform them into wholesome uplifting responses such as courage, trust and compassionate action?
