UPCOMING COURSE

Classical Methods Contemporary Practices

Inner fire meditation helps to rewire our conceptual and experiential understanding of the body. In this experiential course, you'll learn how to integrate Tummo breathwork with the nondual view of Dzogchen to catalyze deep healing, unwavering presence, and unconditional kindness. You'll learn to safely engage with intense sensations, emotions, and bliss states while remaining grounded in the experience of immediate, open, non-interpretive awareness.

Taught the in a modern, pragmatic style, this course guides you through a progressive series of subtle body practices that work with breath, posture, visualization, and the innate vitality of the winds and channels. Whether you’re new to these methods or a seasoned practitioner, you’ll learn to integrate them into daily life in ways that support greater presence, resilience, and vitality across your relationships, work, and sense of purpose.

At the heart of Tummo yoga is a energetic reframing: clarifying our natural vitality and recognizing appearances themselves as dynamic expressions of openness. Through embodied practice, we learn to meet our patterns and contractions as workable energy, transforming them into clarity and strength.

This course is for those who may have touched openness in meditation yet feel disconnected from the body’s vitality. You may know yourself as open awareness, yet the body continues to echo old scripts. Tummo targets this discrepancy. These aren’t techniques for escape; they are precision methods for dissolving fixation and reinhabiting the body as a luminous field of warmth and awareness.

Deconstructing Yourself Podcast

I recently enjoyed a lively discussion with my esteemed colleague Michael Taft on his podcast, "Deconstructing Yourself." Many of you know Michael through his extensive activity in the meditation training and podcasting space.

We explored various topics, including embodied immediacy, navigating disturbing experiences, cultivating open awareness, and how the traditional Tibetan Buddhist practice of Tummo helps us to be more familiar with any refusal to go into experiential intensity. I hope you have time to tune in to this fun discussion!

Over 60 meditators participated in the Winter Tummo Course. Tummo offers an opportunity to examine the origins of emotional unrest and apply healthful interventions that can breed confidence that our distress is workable. The confluence of posture, breath retention, and visualization is an arena where we can challenge habitual ways of framing our experience. Tummo will not help us transcend our messy human lives. Instead, we aim to dissolve the apparent conflict between messy and transcendent.

Deity Yoga - Deconstructing Yourself

I joined Michael Taft on Deconstructing Yourself to discuss devotion in meditation practice, the need for stability in groundlessness, and the ontological status of deities in Vajrayana practice. We explored common failure modes of practice, how to handle formless panic, and the magical matrix of the Guhyagarbha tantra that illustrates bardo meditation and the union of emptiness and vivid appearance.


The conversation touched on why deity yoga continues to hold such lasting power and beauty within the Vajrayana tradition, examining that diaphanous intersection where visualization, somatic experience, and mystery converge. We went deep into the mechanics of transformation, the necessity of paradox, and why these practices remain particularly relevant for contemporary practitioners. The Vajrayana tradition continues to offer something irreplaceable in our contemporary spiritual landscape.

For Men's Health Awareness Month, Michael A. Tennant and I co-created a space for men to discuss mental health. My contribution focused on the practice of embodied immediacy and working with disturbance. According to Mental Health America, 10% of men live with anxiety or depression, 20% develop severe depression, and half of those develop alcohol dependency during their adult lives. Men's mental health is often overlooked, and we do our best to bring attention to the looming men's mental health crisis.

Nervous System Regulation BSW '24

Renowned nervous system regulation expert Jonny Miller and I co-facilitated an event at Boulder Startup Week focused on embodied presence and nervous system balance.

It was thrilling to work alongside Jonny and experience his gentle, pragmatic, and inclusive teaching style. We focused the event through the practical lens that the more we stay in touch with what is most alive within us, the better we can manage the negative consequences of disembodiment, such as burnout, numbness, and relational bypassing.
