Dhammas: Talk

Olivia introduces mindfulness of dhammas as the practice of recognizing patterns in experience rather than taking our thoughts and emotions as personal identity. It explores the shift from simply noticing what is happening to gently investigating how experiences arise, unfold, and pass, while holding accountability and agency with care. Finally, it offers a brief look at how we’ll continue exploring these patterns together in the weeks ahead as a way of deepening insight and easing suffering. Prompt: What’s one thought that repeats in your head? Don’t say it out loud. If you could ask that thought one question, what would it be?

Mind Part 2: Talk

This week Andrew explores mindfulness of the mind as a practical, lived path to freedom that unfolds in everyday awareness. Drawing from Buddhist teachings and modern psychology, he invites us to see the mind not as who we are, but as a constantly changing stream of thoughts and mental states shaped by craving, aversion, and confusion. By observing impermanence, not-self, and the unsatisfying nature of grasping, the practice shifts our relationship to thoughts from identification to awareness. Through noticing both when the mind is caught and when it is free, and bringing this inquiry into daily life, habitual patterns begin to loosen, revealing the mind’s innate capacity for clarity, balance, and peace, and reminding us that liberation is possible here and now. Prompt: If your mind was a jukebox, what would the greatest hit of all time be?

Elements: Talk

This week Olivia explores mindfulness of the body through the lens of the elements, inviting us to experience the body not as a fixed “thing,” but as living qualities of nature felt directly in sensation. She reflects on how recognizing these elemental experiences can soften the deeply rooted “I am” thinking that fuels comparison, attachment, and conceit. By widening our view to the impermanence of the elements within us and in the world around us, she connects this practice to the Buddha’s teachings on impermanence, not-self, and suffering. Prompt: What element do you feel connected to most and why? Elements being earth, fire, water, air. Talk segment that complements the sit portion on Elements Group Date: 1/20/2026

Embodied Mindfulness: Talk

Andrew explores Mindfulness of the Body through the lens of the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta, focusing on its grounding, calming, and stabilizing qualities. Drawing from early Buddhist teachings and lived experience, this talk highlights the body as a refuge, a place of return, and a powerful support for presence and collectedness in daily life. Through direct sutta readings and embodied reflection, listeners are invited to slow down, set things down, and reconnect with the simplicity of knowing the body as it is. Prompt: What is your earliest memory of an embodied experience? Playing? Falling? When do you remember feeling deeply present in your body for the first time?
