This talk explores how embodied attention can feels into and find out about all our experience. We explore how inquiry works, not as intellectual curiosity but as a body-cantered investigation that allows everything to be met and explored.

2017-03-07 Independent in This World - Introductory Talk 27:25

2017-02-26 Free to be Human - Sunday AM 1:35:49
Teachings of liberation can seem to point to a kind of superhuman perfection, one reinforced by classical images and stories of Buddha and other semi-mythical historical saints. This can make our own freedom of being seem unattainable or at least far distant, yet Dharma teachings and practices emphasize immediate experience as the ground of liberation. This day/weekend will look at our human freedom as very near to hand, and will explore how to contemplate and integrate the liberating possibilities of our practice in the midst of our everyday lives.
