Philosophy, contemplative practice, and the physics of nature's flow — for finding your own way. For those who don't need the added pressure of another's way, but are curious about ways of understanding, perceiving, and living that mesh with each other — and that only you can make your own. Mackenzie hosts weekly live sessions on Insight Timer — typically around two hours — opening with a 15-30 minute inquiry into the session's theme, moving into an hour-long guided practice, and closing with comments and discussion. These explorations grew from years of her own searching — trying to fit into practices that promised relief, never quite finding home in any tradition, and stumbling upon a rational basis for getting traction on ways she doesn't have to try. A fellow explorer, Mackenzie Hawkins is a researcher in philosophy of physics, contemplative practitioner, and co-author of several books with physicist and Tai Chi Master Dr. Wonchull Park. Drawing from his nowflow philosophy, these series-based explorations use philosophy and physics as ways of understanding and perceiving what's here already. Not ways to follow, but ways that might help you find your own — for anyone looking to explore beyond the pressures we put on ourselves.

Thank you for all of these offerings. They're palpably effective. My hands feel embodied during this, especially with repeated practice, whereas I've not experienced any benefit from being asked to "breath into" a long list of body parts, one after another, which seems to be a common feature of mindfulness practices. I'm also horribly sceptical so it's really helpful to feel there's a sound philosophical basis here, which even allows for the fact that not everything can be reflected in language, nor captured by "maps." If I'm required to believe in unicorns it won't work for me. This is great 🙏
