There Is No Enemy: Courage & Compassion in Tibetan Buddhism ~ Author, Translator, Teacher Ken McLeod

It was a genuine pleasure to speak with and listen to Ken McLeod. Ken is a renowned Buddhist teacher, writer, and former student of Kalu Rinpoche. He brings an extraordinary wealth of experience and a treasure trove of fascinating stories and insights, while embodying a rare combination of sharpness, humor, subtlety, presence, and honesty that I deeply appreciate. Join us as we explore the depths of Buddhist practice, the role of love and compassion, the significance of language, and the transformative power of meditation. Along the way, we discuss deep listening, courage, teacher-student relationships, impermanence, and what it means to bring practice fully into everyday life. ~~~~~~~~ Ken's website [https://unfetteredmind.org/] ~~~~~~~~ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy me a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://buymeacoffee.com/nondualcommunication] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My meditation & audio courses on Insight Timer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://insig.ht/95Pfn9tDJWb?utm_source=copy_link&utm_medium=content] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My YouTube channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://youtube.com/@nondual_communication?si=quwNz5KECXb5teNT] Intro sequence footage courtesy contributors (via Pexels): Adrien JACTA | Yan Krukau |  RDNE Stock Project | Cuong Duy | Kostas Exarhos | Dmitry Varennikov | Colin Jones |  Eclipse Chasers | Joshua Woroniecki | ArtHouse Studio | In Old News LLC.

The Healing Art of Mourning ~ Nonviolent Communication Trainer Yoram Mosenzon

Every time I sit down to talk and listen to Yoram Mosenzon, I’m amazed by the depth of his embodiment of Nonviolent Communication, and by how deeply he is able to go through what I experience as his commitment to honesty, self-connection, and trusting the wisdom of the body and Nature’s own unfolding. Trust. Honesty. Commitment. Not just speaking about it. Living it. The art of mourning is one of those pathways of self-connection that can lead to astounding and profound insights — such as recognizing that mourning unmet needs is something the body naturally knows how to do, if only we stop interrupting that flow. Or discovering what acceptance can actually look like in the moment. In the body. It was once again a joy and an honor to be in the presence of Yoram — his kindness, playfulness, sincerity, and heartfelt dedication to Nonviolent Communication. ~~~~~~~~ Yoram's website [https://www.connecting2life.net/] ~~~~~~~~ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy me a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://buymeacoffee.com/nondualcommunication] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My meditation & audio courses on Insight Timer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://insig.ht/95Pfn9tDJWb?utm_source=copy_link&utm_medium=content] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My YouTube channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://youtube.com/@nondual_communication?si=quwNz5KECXb5teNT] Intro sequence footage courtesy contributors (via Pexels): Adrien JACTA | Yan Krukau |  RDNE Stock Project | Cuong Duy | Kostas Exarhos | Dmitry Varennikov | Colin Jones |  Eclipse Chasers | Joshua Woroniecki | ArtHouse Studio | In Old News LLC.

Addiction, Awakening & Men's Work ~ Somatic Therapist, Founder & Coach Alex Olshonsky

It was an inspiring joy to sit down with Alex Olshonsky, my sort-of dharma brother from a distance. Now a young father, Alex has already lived a life that could read like an intense movie script. After emerging from life-threatening addiction, he found a deep mission in helping men, executives, addicts (which, it turns out, is most of us in one form or another), and humanity more broadly. In this insightful conversation, Alex shares his journey through addiction, fatherhood, men’s work, and spiritual growth. Together, we explore the transformative power of vulnerability, nonviolent communication, and the integration of different modalities for healing and personal evolution. ~~~~~~~~ Alex' website [https://www.alexolshonsky.com/] Men's work with Alex [https://www.sonsofnow.com/] Psychedelics for healing [https://www.naturacareprograms.org/] Alex' trending article "You're probably addicted to thinking" [https://deepfix.substack.com/p/youre-probably-addicted-to-thinking?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnjaAEQ4CnH7gNfJ6ySovn-1vNlVilWoirAXgfAjZvWJN1p6Rgg8ezSlxzJSM_aem_HO0R332g5weUaRBLxbQJaA&utm_id=97760_v0_s00_e0_tv3_a1dennhawh969n] ~~~~~~~~⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy me a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://buymeacoffee.com/nondualcommunication] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My meditation & audio courses on Insight Timer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://insig.ht/95Pfn9tDJWb?utm_source=copy_link&utm_medium=content] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My YouTube channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://youtube.com/@nondual_communication?si=quwNz5KECXb5teNT] Intro sequence footage courtesy contributors (via Pexels): Adrien JACTA | Yan Krukau |  RDNE Stock Project | Cuong Duy | Kostas Exarhos | Dmitry Varennikov | Colin Jones |  Eclipse Chasers | Joshua Woroniecki | ArtHouse Studio | In Old News LLC.

Beyond NVC: What Marshall Rosenberg Really Pointed To ~ Nonviolent Communication Trainer Liv Larsson

I am once again joined by NVC teacher & friend Liv Larsson. Join us as we unravel what might be a more skillful way to embody the living practice of the art of human connection—including questions such as: -         What did Marshall teach that most NVC practitioners don’t know? -         What are different modalities that can add to our understanding of NVC? -         How to attune more humbly despite having great know-how? -         What can Ken Wilber’s Integral Theory teach NVC? And much more. I was touched by Liv’s warmth, humor, crisp wit and deep experience. I hope enjoy this conversation as much as I did. ~~~~~~~~ Liv's website [https://www.friareliv.com/] ~~~~~~~~ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy me a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://buymeacoffee.com/nondualcommunication] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My meditation & audio courses on Insight Timer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://insig.ht/95Pfn9tDJWb?utm_source=copy_link&utm_medium=content] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My YouTube channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://youtube.com/@nondual_communication?si=quwNz5KECXb5teNT] Intro sequence footage courtesy contributors (via Pexels): Adrien JACTA | Yan Krukau |  RDNE Stock Project | Cuong Duy | Kostas Exarhos | Dmitry Varennikov | Colin Jones |  Eclipse Chasers | Joshua Woroniecki | ArtHouse Studio | In Old News LLC.

Unfolding The Essence of Spirituality ~ Aletheia Coach Michael Scalet & Mindfulness Coach Nuño Conde

What happens if we allow experience to unfold as it will, without a change agenda? The answer is: I don’t know... but something about this attitude is central to spiritual practice. This conversation is not arguing for that perspective; it's living it. Step into the unknown with us, and witness Nuño Conde and Michael Scalet flowing in a conversation that went deep, yet felt utterly effortless. We explore the depths of self-awareness, the role of meditation, and the art of unfolding in relationships. We also discuss predictive processing, working with cognitive ‘priors’, and the importance of presence in spiritual practice, offeringpractical insights for cultivating a more mindful and authentic life.
