"Getting Out of Your Own Way"
November 20 - 22, 2026
"Most people have two things happening most of the time: what they do and what they think about what they are doing. We may feel any discrepancy between these two function as self-judgment, guilt, shame, regret, despair, envy, anxiety or lack of self-will. Such feelings can then propagate more self-judgment, etc. So how do we extract ourselves from this loop? How can we get out of our own way and function with authenticity."
Topic: "Does Meditation Have a Goal?"
November 17, 2026
"Many people meditate to gain a little peace of mind, to experience altered states or to gain merit in the direction of enlightenment. But for most people most of the time, the actual experience is frustration. It can feel like we are just not very good meditators. But what if that isn't a mistake? What if the goal of meditation is not to become a good meditator. This session will explore the true purpose of meditation."
