Mahasangha Recordings

A Hearth and Wheel gathering for Ostara, the spring equinox Sabbath, opening the eight-times-a-year ritual cycle our Mahasangha walks with the seasons. Candles are lit. We turn to nature as teacher and mirror. The teaching traces Ostara to Eostre, goddess of the rising dawn, sister-word to Easter and estrogen: the feminine as a structural regulating force that hosts, receives, nourishes, multiplies. Life through holding and attunement, not force. Closes in community sharing.

A Hearth and Wheel gathering for Ostara, spring equinox Sabbath. We settle through somatic ritual into Tonglen practice: breath as cosmic imprint of balance, inhale receiving the world as it is, exhale offering grounded compassionate presence. Tonglen as subtle activism, solidarity for goodness, truth, beauty. The teaching unfolds the feminine principle as a regulating force that senses, connects, restores flow. Multiplying as truth-telling, tender relating. Closes in sangha sharing and prayer.

A Mahasangha gathering opening with a sentence-stem check-in in small groups, then a deep guided practice of meta-aware group consciousness. We rest before the stained glass symbol of the living Earth, let the heart receive the light, and build the architecture in layers: embodied heart-mind, sovereignty, attunement, open ground. The mycelial heart wraps the circle in luminous tendrils as each sangha member is welcomed by name. Closes with a small-group checkout.

A Mahasangha gathering opening with news of the new PD content library (1,000+ videos, soon AI-searchable). The body of the session is a guided practice of meta-aware group consciousness: the stained glass symbol of the living Earth, the mycelial heart wrapping our circle, welcoming each member by name. We sit with the adversity of our heroic journey, request support from the group intelligence, and close with a checkout and the hymn Heavens to Earth shared by sangha members.

A Hearth and Wheel gathering for Beltane, the cross-quarter fire festival at the midpoint between spring equinox and summer solstice. Beltane is life reaching toward life: pine pollen clouds blowing across Colorado, seed and sperm traveling like a prayer in the sky. The session moves into a Tonglen practice, each exhale a prayer for those in any kind of bondage. Ancestors dance barefoot around the fire. Fertility is within us in all its shapes and forms. Closes with sangha sharing.

A Mahasangha gathering in honor of Beltane, the cross-quarter fire festival at the midpoint between spring equinox and summer solstice. Beltane is life reaching toward life: the generative force moving through the seed, the lava, the egg, the breath. The session opens with a Tonglen-inflected meditation on the life force, breathing in where our aliveness has been held back and breathing out permission for it to move toward love and wholeness. Closes with community sharing in the Beltane fire.

Guided practice opening with the luminosity of the visual field, settling the attentional system into the heart, and progressively sensing the awareness body. Working with both the spaciousness and the solidity of experience, the central channel, and the heart as the primary organ of practice.

Guided practice beginning with deep belly breaths and settling into the ground. Heart-listening, releasing non-functional tension, softening the eyes, tongue, and the parts of the body we do not normally attend to. The radiance that arises from sustained softening.
