Zohar Lavie
In Hebrew: Exploring how metta and samadhi co-create conditions and experiences of non-dukkha. How metta reveals intimacy, and expresses non-demanding. And how samadhi tunes us beyond our habitual capacities, so we can linger in what is deeply okay, and open into liberating well-being.

Nathan Glyde
Drawing the hindrances towards samadhi. Exploring how we can find ways to ease greed and aversion by relating to them as energy, rather than as content and story. Based around the insight that all obstacles to practice arise in our ways of relating. And remembering there is always a possibility for another way of relating, leads us towards the liberation of possibilities.
