The ultimate relationship: opening to love.

With Caverly Morgan recorded on February 19, 2017.

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

We are deeply conditioned to look for love outside ourselves. In that desperate search, we not only experience the frustration and the futility of grasping, but we lose sight of who we authentically are.

Join us as we engage in practices that not only remind us of our true nature, but guide us to a direct experience of it. In opening to Love, we open to the remembrance of our own authenticity. Explore how all of our relationships are transformed when the ultimate relationship with who we authentically are is realized.

    Daily Meditation Recordings, with Milla Gregor – Week of June 20, 2022

    This week’s topic is Skills for Inner and Outer Transformation. Dharma practice gives us great tools for inner and interpersonal change. It’s empowering to explore how these can also be useful for social and environmental transformation. We will tour such qualities, including equanimity (upekkha), non-self (anatta), and sukha (yes, pleasure!). Together, we will draw on both traditional and more contemporary voices to show how your skills as a practitioner could be vital to the work of changing the world.

    Daily Meditation Recordings, with Ulla Koenig – Week of 29 June, 2026

    This week’s theme is: Rejoicing in Integrity: Ethics Beyond Guilt and Shame . In this session we explore how an ethical life can be guided by hiri and ottappa – healthy self-respect and respect for others – rather than by guilt or shame. We will also touch into uplifting emotions such as gratitude, admiration and inner integrity as sources of a joyful, sustainable ethical compass.

There is no such thing as an enlightened ego. What else is possible? Resting in Love,…
