Becoming Intimate With The Person You Call Me
With BionThis course invites you to take an intimate look at what you call “yourself,” exploring the nature of self and identity through inner inquiry and the practice of meditation. Designed for just about anyone, this course guides you in cultivating a non-judgmental, equanimous awareness of your lived experience, exploring the self through four experiential dimensions: body, mind, breath, and the direct immediacy of “just this.” Each lesson blends gentle teachings, guided meditation, and simple yet profound practices to help you connect with yourself more honestly and compassionately, aiming to provide you with tools to recognize mental habits and soften self-generated stress, as well as practical methods to return to presence — especially when life feels overwhelming. You’ll be better equipped to meet the world with sincerity, groundedness, and an open heart, continuing the lifelong practice of being fully alive. No prior meditation experience is necessary — just a willingness to pause, listen deeply, and explore what it means to be “me.”
Through mindful practice and gentle inquiry, this course helps you cultivate intimacy with yourself and embrace life as it is—moment by moment.
