The Six Hungers
With Juan Vega (Monk Mode Society)Every human being is hungry. Not only for food, money, love, or success, but for ground, aliveness, dignity, belonging, healing, and a way to give something back to life. In The Six Hungers, Juan Vega guides you through an original Dharma framework for understanding human need, craving, attachment, and freedom. These six lessons blend Buddhist wisdom, mindfulness, lived experience, and body-based reflection for people practicing in real life: tired minds, uncertain seasons, complicated relationships, and hearts trying to heal without pretending everything is fine. You will learn how safety can become control, aliveness can become noise, mattering can become performance, belonging can become clinging, and healing can become another fight against yourself. Then you will learn the open hand. This course is for anyone who wants to understand what they keep reaching for, meet their hunger with compassion, and take one honest step toward freedom.
