• The Liberating Power of Conscious Intention 1

  While we can't change our past, we have the capacity in this moment to remember our deepest intention and seed the future. Intention can become the compass of our heart, guiding and creating our life experience.   In these two talks we explore how we awaken mindfulness of intention and how, when we are caught in habits that create suffering, we can find our way home to the deep intention that heals and frees us. The two talks include reflections and practices that can bring the power of intention alive in your life.   Our introduction music is from "Opening" by Adrienne Torf, © 2025 ABT Music

• Meditation on Intention (22:39 min.)

  In this guided meditation, we explore the power of intention—the quiet inner compass that reconnects us with our sincerity, our longing, and the truth of our own hearts. Through gentle breath awareness, a relaxing full-body scan, and an invitation to listen deeply inward, this practice helps us arrive in presence and remember what truly matters.   Our introduction music is from "Opening" by Adrienne Torf, © 2025 ABT Music

• The Evolving of Generosity

  In this week's talk, we explore the heart practice of generosity—a teaching at the very center of the Buddhist path and a medicine so deeply needed in our world.  Together, we reflect on the two patterns that shape our lives: the tightening of grasping—the sense of not enough—and the natural ease that arises when we open our hearts and offer our care. When we become more mindful of giving, even in small and spontaneous ways, we reconnect with our innate goodness and with the love that flows through all of life. And, as we let go of the habits that create separation and reflect on the goodness within and around us, we discover the joy of a generous heart.   Our introduction music is from "Opening" by Adrienne Torf, © 2025 ABT Music

• Meditation: Inner Space - Gateway to Open Awareness (20:08)

  This meditation is adapted from a meditation called "Open Focus." Let whatever comes spontaneously to your awareness to be there as you follow along with the questions, which begin with, "Can you imagine…?" (adapted from Open Focus Meditations led by Les Fehmi, Ph.D.)   Our introduction music is from "Opening" by Adrienne Torf, © 2025 ABT Music

• Awakening Compassion in a Fearful World: The Practice of Tonglen

  As anxiety, division, and digital distance numb our hearts, we risk losing our ability to truly feel the lives of others. In this talk, we'll explore how compassion arises when another becomes real to us — when we can imagine their inner world and sense our shared belonging. Through reflections, stories, and the Tibetan practice of tonglen, we'll learn how to transform suffering into care, and re-open the relational pathways that let us act from love.   Our introduction music is from "Opening" by Adrienne Torf, © 2025 ABT Music
