Our life experience is shaped by the stories we tell ourselves and the underlying belief that "something is wrong with me." Meditation allows us to recognize and release the grip of the stories that confine our sense of wholeness, peace and inner freedom.

Our deepest nature is compassionate, yet our habitual self-centeredness is an armoring that confines our heart. The Buddhist teachings free us to be of benefit to all those we touch.
This talk investigates the skillful means that help us open beyond our conditioned cocoon of thoughts and to realize the freshness, tenderness and boundlessness of our true nature.
Our conditioning to resist pain creates trance—we become identified as a small, victimized, threatened self. We have the capacity, through mindful, kind attention, to discover genuine freedom in the midst of pain.
The bodhisattva path arises out of a love for life. We awaken this love as we realize our belonging to our inner life, each other and the natual world.
Our human relationships give rise to pain and pleasure, fear, suffering and love. As we bring our experience into the light of mindful awareness, we awaken compassion and discover the truth of our connectedness.
