Mindfulness, Samadhi, Insight and Patriarchy: Seeing and Not Seeing Things As They Actually Are

With Gregory Kramer recorded on April 23, 2023.

Found our teachings useful? Help us continue our work and support your teachers with a donation. Here’s how.

When the mind is both bright and still, it sees things that are usually hidden to it. And there are things it does not see. And there can be apprehensions that change everything, and those that change little. Gregory will speak about meditative insight, deep personal and cultural conditioning, and other things about which he knows too little. He asks in advance for your forgiveness.

  • Human Body – Earth Body – One Body

    The Earth speaks to us through our bodies. By contemplating the elements we come to understand that all life on Earth is simply interbeing. Through this sensed understanding we begin to transform human supremacy into human response-ability, a deepening of our inborn capacity for a healthy regenerative relationship with ourselves and our world.

    We often hear about Dana, or generosity, only when being asked for donations! Yet Buddha taught that “the practice of generosity is a foundation for happiness”. This session with Worldwide Insight guiding teacher Martin Aylward explores the depth and beauty of generosity, and how its practice can transform our own hearts and minds.
