Universal Heart
Online Teaching Series, June 2025
A teaching series exploring the Universal Heart and the ways in which this intersects with individual experience.
These sessions will cover an intro to the Universal Heart and the four elements of experience that make it up:
- Shadow Work
- Authentic Connection
- Spaciousness
- Surrender
Each session is a transmission of an integrated way of accessing the depths of these different elements of experience. I also describe some ways of practicing with each element and how they might show up in experience on an awakening path.
Universal Soul
Awakening to the Imaginal Realm and the Pyschedelic Nature of Experience
Taught at Berkeley Alembic, May 2024
Experience is much more innately psychedelic and creative in nature than you might imagine from the habitual routines of your usual day-to-day perspective. By connecting to the imaginal realm in both body and soul, you can discover this innate psychedelic quality, allowing experience to flow more fluidly through you as your life and practice becomes a more natural expression of Buddha-nature.
In this four-part series, which combines talks, guided meditations, and self reflection, we will connect with the four aspects of experience that are the foundations of imaginal practice:
- Somatic-Imaginal
- Eros
- Myth and Metaphor
- Mysticism
In this series, there will be a two-fold dimension to our work, a balance between developing the technical skills required to unlock these parts of experience and the more receptive work of surrendering to the already present imaginal undercurrent within experience.
To take the most advantage of this series, it will be helpful if you are comfortable connecting to your subtle or energy body, have done some work with a transformative healing modality, and have had some experience of open awareness.
