In the Deep with Catherine Ingram

Catherine is one of the best dharma teachers alive now. We are so lucky to have intimate access to her wisdom and compassion in these podcasts and in her zoom sessions. She gives me hope and inspiration with every answer to live a meaningful and peaceful life.

Catherine Ingram is the real deal, a dharma teacher in the truest sense, and deeply empathetic and human.Even when I disagree with her, I always get value from listening to her very articulate analysis of our world and our place in it, and how we can become more accepting, gentle and loving human beings.

When I joined my first Buddhist sangha in the early 90s, I started hearing the word “freedom” being used in conversation, spiritual freedom that is, as if people’s goal was to achieve this in their practice. I remember saying to someone then that I’d settle for sanity. Well, I don’t remember how I got introduced to Catherine’s Dharma Dialogues, but I drove to Berkeley to see her a few times, and listen to her still. Kind of like a security blanket woven with impermanent yarn. I appreciate her embodied presence, yes, even by podcast, and her voice is so easy to hear, and her message couldn’t be simpler, and yet, and yet….

This podcast has provided great insight during these trying and uncertain times. Thank you!
