CELEBRATING THE THREE JEWELS:
In honor of Tim Olmsted’s birthday on December 11, take a moment to remember a story or teaching from Tim that has stuck with or changed you.
Finding Dharma Everywhere...
Where did I find the dharma? This is a memorable dharma finding. In 2013, I went to Magnolia Monastery in Batesville, Mississippi for a retreat. Thich Nhat Hanh and his monastics built this monastery on a cotton field known for awful happenings and now remembered and reformed with peaceful practice.
The Process of Getting Unstuck....
Spiritual Practice for Support
There’s no doubt, we are living in turbulent times. Yet we have the choice to watch the news or social media and go down the rabbit hole of frightful emotions, or we can take a walk in nature, listening to an uplifting podcast, or sit on our cushions and allow our minds to rest in meditation and open awareness.
