Practice as a Way of Remembrance
With Recorded : October 18, 2020
Many are referring to this time as apocalyptic. Fair enough. It can seem as though everywhere we turn a dismantling of some sort is in the works. While we might intellectually feel able to embrace the change upon us, for many it can be easy to fall into overwhelm, hopelessness, even despair. What do the…

Methodology, Ideology and Cosmology: Three Dimensions of a Full Spectrum Practice
With Recorded : October 11, 2020
Dharma practice is sometimes seen too reductively through a uniquely meditative lens.

Compassion is a Political Act
With Recorded : September 20, 2020
This session is invitation for white practitioners and others to join Vimalasara in a discussion on the theme of liberation, the central tenet of Buddhist teachings.

Dharma Practice as Play, or, There is no Path until you Walk It!
With Recorded : September 13, 2020

Dharma, Sex, Intimacy and Covid
With Recorded : September 6, 2020
We are more physically isolated during these days of Covid. Less physical contact, less access even to each others smiles beneath the masks we wear to care for each others’ health. Contact and intimacy are deeply important to humans, and in this session Sangha Live founding and guiding teacher Martin Aylward explores different forms of…
Love and Resiliency
With Recorded : August 30, 2020

The Dharma of Homecoming in Times of Fear
With Recorded : July 26, 2020
Maya Angelou once wrote: “The ache for home lives in all of us. The safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.” James Baldwin reflected: “Perhaps home is not a place but simply an irrevocable condition.” In The Wiz, Stephanie Mills sang: “When I think of home I think of…

Integrity – A Bridge Over Troubled Water
With Recorded : July 12, 2020
In challenging situations, we can lose our ground. Not knowing what to rely on, we are liable to reactivity, either withdrawing or lashing out.
