Freedom is a big word. It suggests escape from all the messiness of being human. But in the final installment of Awake Where You Are, Martin Aylward shows us that real freedom not only includes the vagaries of daily life—it emerges through them. bit.ly/44SNVVc

In the second installment of The Open Path, Elias Amidon shows us that, more than anything else, our paths open when we open ourselves: by caring for others, by taking action in the face of worry, by welcoming new experiences without preconception. bit.ly/4o3Oenq
Graphic with a quote by Elias Amidon: "To give is not to be virtuous or to sacrifice your need in favor of another’s. It is to step from the loneliness of separation into the seamlessness of being."

In Knowing Presence, Ayya Ānandabodhī invites us to see our personal experiences—difficult thoughts, pleasant sensations—not as solitary perceptions but as evidence of our connection to others, to nature, to the world. bit.ly/4eSnH8v Series artwork by Ceci Erlich

Many teachers say meditation is about effortlessness—about ease, not striving, letting things be. But in three new sessions of Sitting in Stillness, Adyashanti goes further, inviting us to drop the subtlest sense of even being a meditator. bit.ly/3GbDZMY
Image featuring a quote by Adyashanti on a blue gradient background, reading: 'Even when every definition and identity has disappeared from the mind, you still exist - not as thought, but as stillness.' Below the quote is the text 'WAKING UP'.

In Better Things & Better People, Sam speaks with historian @rutgerbregman. They discuss why it seems like we are at the hinge of human history, how altruism should be rewarded, why empathy is overrated, moral entrepreneurship, existential risk, and more. bit.ly/4lfL11U

Body. Injury. Relationship. Sex. Breath. Care. Intimacy. You. In a new installment of Consolations II, David Whyte explores words that point to our greatest vulnerabilities. Instead of protecting these tender spaces, he honors them as sources of beauty. bit.ly/3SYMrly

In The Open Path, Elias Amidon shares Sufism-inspired reflections and insights from Zen and Dzogchen. This series helps us let go of what we think we need for spiritual fulfillment—and create space for it to appear all on its own. bit.ly/404qTHQ Artwork by Jonathan Conda

In the latest installment of Beyond Concepts, John Astin doesn’t offer techniques, instructions, or guidance along a path. Instead, across six poetic reflections, he simply describes how ordinary experience is already vast, alive, and complete. bit.ly/43T1ulP

What if the reason you feel stuck isn’t that you’re doing life wrong, but trying too hard to do it right? In a new installment of You Are Here, Oliver Burkeman helps us get out of our own way and just move forward—imperfectly, uncomfortably, but freely. bit.ly/43PRzhP
