    Beads of Bhakti | Dharma Talk

    Originally recorded on April 22, 2024, Josh reflects on the parallels between artistic and spiritual development. He explores a maturing relationship to tradition. How do we draw from the world’s wisdom traditions and channel their pathways of heart in our own lives? And how might we consider cultivating a devotional practice to a personalized expression of the divine?

    The Heart's Precept | Dharma Talk

    The Heart's Precept | Dharma Talk

    Originally recorded on April 15, 2024, in this dharma talk, Josh offers a fresh perspective on how to cultivate an ethical commitment within your meditation practice. 



    Instead of referencing an orthodox list of do’s and don’ts, Josh uses each of the five training precepts in Buddhism as a way to open to a deeper exploration of your heart’s desire.



    Many members of the sangha have expressed ambivalence or uncertainty around what their heart’s deepest desire is, and this talk is an introduction to a way of practicing to really listen in a way that allows your heart’s desire to speak.

    Chas Di Capua | A Practice For Now

    Chas Di Capua | A Practice For Now

    I am delighted to welcome Insight Meditation teacher Chas DiCapua on the podcast to discuss a wide-range of topics, exploring how the dharma can help us meet the tragedies of our “now” – an interrelated group of crises of ecology, nationalism, racialization, and, in some ways, masculinity. 

    Chas has been practicing Buddhist meditation for almost 30 years. He has trained with Burmese meditation masters, western monastics of the Thai Forest tradition and senior western vipassana teachers. He has spent over two years in silent, intensive retreat.

    Chas has served as the Insight Meditation Society’s Resident Teacher at IMS since 2003. Chas is a graduate of the four year joint Insight Meditation Society / Spirit Rock Teacher Training Program. He teaches retreats at IMS and at various centers and sanghas throughout the country.

    As a way to address the wide spread suffering that is endemic in many partnered relationships, Chas explores how the dharma can be practiced in relationship, including how the masculine and feminine energies manifest in relationship, in spiritual practice, and in the world.

    If you’re local to Maine, Chas is also the guiding teacher at the Open Door Sangha of Portland, Maine.

    Seed Selection | Dharma Talk

    Originally recorded on April 8, 2024, in this dharma talk, Josh offers ways for you to create your own mantra to use with any bead-based form of meditation practice. 

    A mala, rosary or bead-based garland by any other name is a wonderful way to strengthen your capacities for concentration, kindness and peace.

    Grab your beads, listen to this talk, and develop your custom-tailored mantra practice.

    Why Train Online | Qi Chats with Josh + Terry

    In this Qi Chat, Terry and Josh discuss some of the ways that an online yoga training is a far better educational experience than the in-person training. 

    We talk about how the pandemic shifted our Yin Yoga School to an online format and how beneficial this has been for our students and our own teaching.

Best of Yin & Meditative Content out there

Josh’s 30 years of exploring the meditative path shine through brightly in how he shares his stories and reflections on topics of yin yoga, meditation and related content. His brilliant use of analogy and commitment to honest and academic examination of theory & pedagogy are rare and refreshing!

Wonderful!!!

It is refreshing to have a podcast episode that goes right into the substance of the topic without all the filler-talk. I love these short, but extremely substantive talks. They are very relevant, informative, and spot on. KUDOS!!!!!
