Hello friends,
I stopped at a nearby park to record this video about something that has come up in my teaching recently: book-ending. I hope you find this enjoyable and inspiring as we enter the holiday season.
Community Talk on Cloud Sangha
As a teacher, I am continuously touched by the compassionate connections we’re building on CloudSangha.co. In a few weeks, on Friday, December 8th at 9:00am Pacific Time, I will be sharing my voice to all Cloud Sangha members to talk about the practice of well-being.
You can start a free 7-day trial to access my Live Dharma Talk, as well as join Weekly Mindful Friends Groups on a variety of topics, Guided Meditations, and Silent Sits in the Community Meditation Hall.

Insight Meditation Society Book Club
I’m excited to announce that coming March 7th, 2024, at 6:00pm Central, my book Time for Awakening: A Memoir will be the topic of discussion. Mark your calendars for this hour-long event brought to you by the Insight Meditation Society Book Club.
Time for Awakening: A Memoir
After decades of healing in recovery, a midwestern mother of two teenage sons is suddenly drawn toward Buddhist meditation practice. Constance's intimate spiritual journey is shared with honesty as deep openings unfold in her daily life amid relationships, economic challenges, and building a home. Propelled by calm confidence, profound truths are revealed to inspire joy for living in harmony.
