#38 Summer Stories of Love, Joy and Grief: Our presenters, Brother Phap Huu and Jo Confino, are back after a short hiatus with an episode covering their own stories from a summer which has been equally joyful and unsettling.

An eclectic mix of topics, from the first post-pandemic (and sold out!) summer retreats at Plum Village, weddings, and family reunions, to collective awakening, interbeing, and civilizational collapse; what they’ve learned, and how the practice of mindfulness helped them through the ups and downs.

The episode ends with this short meditation guided by Brother Phap Huu..
