Hey friends, sorry for the delayed post. We’ve been dealing with a lot of challenging kiddo dysregulation this past week, no sleep and big feelings and back to BC and chaotic house and new school year and it’s all been pretty overwhelming. No bandwidth to write anything coherent. Instead, here’s a meditation on boundaries that I made for Dan last year, one that COULD NOT BE MORE RELEVANT.
I hope it’s relevant for you too. In the meantime, pease wish Sarah and I:
Healthy boundaries
Oceans of equanimity

A few quick notes—
The next Do Nothing Project (DNP) live meditation is Sunday, September 13 at 8pm EDT. Link here. Replays are archived Monday mornings on Home Base and YouTube.
New to Home Base? We have over 80 free guided meditations in our audio library, over 65 extended meditations, over 365 meditations on YouTube, and a growing number of community practice videos. New writing, new audio meditations, and new live community gatherings happen every week.
Home Base is best experienced on a web browser (laptop or mobile), NOT the Substack app. To manage Substack emails and notifications, read this.

My latest work happens here; becoming a paid subscriber is the best way to support that work. If you found this meditation and post helpful, but becoming a paid subscriber isn’t an option, you can also …
Many thanks!
Being Human Takes Practice - North Carolina
Art of Living Retreat Center, North Carolina
October 23-25, 2026
A retreat on what meditation teaches us about being human. We explore resistance and fixation, stuck emotions and stuck views. We explore awe, humility, connection and mystery. The aim is for everyone to leave the weekend with a clearer sense of why they practice, and a more intimate feel for the many strange and beautiful ways to move deeper into life.
