    Episode 8 – Lorin Roche. Meditation can *actually* be easy
    Dec 7 2020
    Really special episode this, with one of our favorite meditation teachers. Lorin is something of a ‘meditator whisperer’ – having spent much of his life being an unorthodox counsellor to meditators who were having trouble in their practice. Lorin casts aside monasticism, ascetism, and puritanical thinking for a clear-eyed and honest look at what it […]

    Episode 3 – Daniel Ingram Interview
    May 1 2020

Goenka retreats were pivotal for both me and Jasmine, so it’s amazing to hear stories about his initial training, and why the retreats downplay […]
