Craving Aversion and Gratitude

Our Home Base Hangout from Thursday, April 30, 2026

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!
