What is the Do Nothing Project?

Prepare to be underwhelmed! Every Sunday night myself or a cohost guide a free 25-minute meditation on Substack Live. Our subject is a variation on nothing whatsoever.

You can read more about the Do Nothing Project here, and peruse hundreds of archived weekly meditations here.

Look forward to doing nothing in community with you!

Enjoying the Do Nothing Project? Check out the Consciousness Explorers Club (CEC), a non-profit meditation adventure group that I founded over ten years ago (anniversary animation here), now run by my friend Erin Oke and a crew of dedicated volunteers. The CEC offers free guided meditations and articles, hosts its own highly exploratory online community meditation on Monday nights, and aims to be a resource for community practice groups around the world.

It turns out infinity isn’t just one big blank canvas — there are small infinities and big ones.

In this episode of nothing whatsoever happening, we get extra curious about… nothing. That is, absence. The experience of stillness or quiet or space or blankness or emptiness or open-ended awareness or peaceful neutrality. Can we find an absence and then choose to appreciate it, to steep in it, even to… Enjoy it? In this way, these quiet places …

He attempts to articulate why he is experiencing joy, out on the water with his four-year-old on a kayak, sea lions bellowing, white puffy clouds. The smell of bilge. Then: enjoying the community, slightly buzzy meditation, mystery humming all around. Attempts to articulate such things are not successful. Doesn’t matter. Feeling good to be here with everyone.

Home Base Hangout is one of the additional signals of support available to paid subscribers, along with customized meditation practices, and more on the way.

In this buoyant edition of our monthly Home Base Hangout, Jeff chats about his teacher, Shinzen Young and Vipassana as an approach to meditation, and then guides a practice on noticing craving and aversion. After we chat a bit about the mechanics of mindfulness versus concentration, and about how to titrate with emotional pain, and what it feels like to be a “meditation failure,” then just lots of gratitude around being in community and being able to explore these teachings together. Good times!

I wonder why I waited so long to do this. It felt good to me, safe and familiar and connected. The DNP will be free for everyone the first Sunday of every month, and the other three Sundays it will be for the regulars. If you know someone…

Jeff describes in vague, mystical language “the hum” of being, suffusing something or another. Good palpable community connection. At the end, Jeff talks a little bit about changes he wants to make at the DNP and how it fits into the signal of support he’s interested in offering through this Substack.

It’s very meta. Also, in the not doing anything, an opinion is expressed (Jeff’s) that it is the single most important thing ever, of all time, anywhere. Among other important things. Oh yeah, then we talk about access and accessibility and what that means.

We end as always with some gratitude and appreciation. Grateful for this community.

Or something like that - peace!

It’s exquisite. Also boring, and peaceful, a bit drooly in parts. All of it happening within the vast impersonal space of awareness, the boundless cosmic mystery of life pressing up against God’s shock-widened eyeball. Then more drooly parts.

Then, at the end, he attempts to point to stillness / silence / space as facets of something mysterious and ineffable welling up into life. Gratitude ensues, possibly also naps.

Meditation is the best!

A glitch in the system, a blip in the matrix. Jeff misses his early ferry and is forced to broadcast from an actual real life human situation, with ferry announcements, other passengers, and gorgeous views of BC coastal mountains. Who knows whether or not it makes for a good meditation, but it definitely passes the time!

In fact, some of us slow our body clocks down so much that we become 2 1/2 thousand year-old statues in the forest, mossy, a bit worn down, quite content. Others turn off their phone and never return to Substack again.

Home Base Hangout is one of the additional signals of support available to paid subscribers, along with customized meditation practices, and more on the way.

This hour-long recording starts with 25-minute meditation. Then in our discussion we talk a lot about how and why community has been supportive, what to do with feelings of guilt that can come up when we feel like we’re enjoying our meditation / and or generally feeling joy when the world is on fire. We share both about how meditation supports us in hard times, and the role of community in that. And more besides!
