Paradox Of Meditation

*LIVE TALK 1/17/26
We often come to meditation hoping to feel calmer, clearer, or more at peace, yet what we first encounter is ourselves : restless, tender, distracted, and deeply human. In this talk, we explore the paradox at the heart of meditation. Genuine presence arises not through effort or self-improvement, but through willingness to meet whatever is here. Rather than trying to 'do' meditation correctly, this offering invites a gentle shift toward allowing, listening, and befriending our inner experience. It invites us into a more honest relationship with ourselves, both on the cushion and in everyday life. Includes the experience of embodied guided meditation.
