This talk explores one of the most essential—and liberating—skills on the spiritual path: the willingness to begin again. Inspired by S. N. Goenka's simple instruction to "start again," we'll look beyond returning to the present moment and explore how each new beginning also invites us to remember what matters most. Drawing on the experience of moving across the country, letting go of what no longer belongs, and discovering that every ending is also a beginning, this talk offers a fresh perspective on the practice of starting over—not only during life's major transitions, but in the countless moments of everyday life. You'll learn how to re-arrive with awareness, reconnect with your deepest intention, recognize what no longer serves your future, and cultivate the courage to begin again with wisdom rather than self-judgment. Whether you're navigating a significant life change or simply finding your way through the ordinary challenges of daily living, you'll discover that starting over isn't a sign that you've failed—it's the very heart of awakening.
This talk explores the tenth of the ten perfections. You'll learn how you cannot make steadiness and serenity happen, but can create the conditions that allow this inner state to arise. When you remember the fundamental quality of reality, you can more easily open to embrace your true nature.
The talk explores the power of loving kindness. You'll learn how to be more of a well-wisher to all, some techniques to more effectively express kindness in the world and a reflection on what might happen in your life if you were to be more adept at responding to challenges with an open heart.
This talk explores the power of grit. You'll learn the importance of first creating goals that are fully aligned with your heart and spirit and then developing your capacity to stay on your path, developing both perseverance as well as deep, intuitive inner listening.
This talk explores how to attune to what is true. You'll learn how to discern between conventional and eternal truth, two essential teachings of truth and how to use your relationships and wise speech as a doorway to greater clarity and self-awareness.
This talk explores how to cultivate the quality of patience and self-restraint. You'll learn about the power of refraining from those who have caused you harm, how to endure hardship, how to cultivate greater confidence in ultimate truth and about the near-enemies of patience and forbearance.
This talk explores how to cultivate vitality, courage and resilience in your life. You'll learn how you can manage the energy you have and how to build vigor and confidence to pursue that which calls you.
This talk explores how to cultivate wisdom and insight. You'll learn about the importance of cultivating the wise heart, what gets in the way of seeing clearly, the anatomy of an insight and how to balance wisdom with compassion.
