    19. Dancing with Impermanence

    Everything changes; everything is impermanent. When we contemplate impermanence, what emotions surface? Fear, sadness, grief—or perhaps relief and excitement? In this episode, we'll explore how impermanence manifests in our lives, from the seemingly mundane shifts in our careers to the grand cosmic dance of the universe. This is a public episode.

    17. [Practical Mindfulness] Noticing Sensations

    Announcement: I'll be teaching a day-long retreat on the theme of "Befriending Changes & Uncertainties" on Saturday May 18, from 10:00-16:30. This retreat is held in-person at Bodhicharya Buddhist Centre in Friedrichshain, Berlin. Please feel free to check out the details here. ------- In today's practice, we bridge the gap between noticing bodily sensations and our everyday activities. Feel free to practice this one while washing the dishes, tidying the house, taking a walk, commuting, etc. Noticing bodily sensations can help ground us into every moment through embodied experiences. As we become aware of the rising and passing of every bodily sensation, we also become aware of the rising and passing of all experiences, thus cultivating a wise and spacious relationship with life itself.

    The holiday season brings joy, generosity, kindness, and love. Yet spending time with family could also bring up conflicts. In today’s exploration, we’ll look at the roots of conflicts and compassion, as well as how the practice of compassion could help us navigate and transform challenging relationships. Programming Note In January, I’ll be releasing episodes every month instead of every two weeks. Reason being I’m working on a number of exciting projects in the upcoming year.

    12. Peacefully Navigating Family Dynamics

    Family dynamics can be complex and challenging. Yet familial relationships can also reveal the most unfiltered parts of ourselves. While these relationship hold mirrors up to us, they can help us recognise these often unruly parts of ourselves, and in turn help us decide how we would like to be. Join me this week to explore these complex yet fertile relationships, gaining insights into ourselves, and how we relate with others. This is a public episode.
