As life in this day and age gets more unpredictable, the best plan you can make is one you’re willing to change. On this episode of The Gathering Room, I talk about the paradox of living by signs and symbols, and why absolutism, whether in science or religion, will tank you when life keeps right-angle-turning. I’ll share what Asian traditions taught me about the present moment, and how the American football trick “calling an audible” can help you trust yourself and let the day unfold. Come join me!

On a recent morning walk, I wondered what would be recognized as king of the forest: Oaks? Bears? Bambi’s father? As it turns out, it’s fungus! In this Gathering Room, I explore Suzanne Simard’s discovery of the “woodwide web” underground, and why our lives are better seen as a compilation of connections than of achievements. I’ll also guide you in meditation and answer your questions on yearning, creativity, and finding glimmers. If you’re tired of always striving to achieve, come connect with me.

I’ve spent a lot of my life “reconstituting” my memories, and I didn’t even know I was doing it! On this episode of The Gathering Room, I talk about Memory Reconsolidation Theory—how we can change the emotional impact of painful memories without changing the facts of what happened. I’ll help you look for one tiny good thing connected to a difficult experience, then guide you through a meditation to discover how a memory that once dragged you down may become something that lifts you up. Come join me!

We’re living through a “phase transition,” but I believe it’s what our souls signed up for. In this “Listen Again” episode of The Gathering Room Podcast, I explore why the chaos of our times isn’t a sign of collapse, but of metamorphosis. Using the metaphor of ice to water to steam, I talk about how relaxation is the key to navigating radical change. I’ll also guide you in meditation—and share why your wackiest fascination may be your best compass right now. Join me, and let’s learn to fly.
