The next Home Base Hangout with Jeff and community will be Thursday, September 24 at 12:15pm ET, over Zoom. Come if you’ve never been! It’s good to see everyone’s faces. First half is a guided meditation from Jeff; the second half is an opportunity to share about your practice – its latest challenges, insights, and opportunities. Expect low-key conviviality, the occasional epiphany, and the normalization of … not much happening.

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!
THIS WEEK ON THE MIND BOD ADVENTURE POD
This week we’re hanging with Michael Uebel, psychotherapist, researcher, longtime mindfulness teacher for military veterans, and author of Seeds of Equanimity: Knowing and Being. How did we all meet? Michael sent Jeff an email that said something like, “I hear you’re obsessed with equanimity… so am I!” Jeff read the new book and could not put it down. So here we are, nerding out about equanimity. There’s a LOT more to it that you might think!
Meditation and Mystery
Big Bear Retreat Center, California, USA
February 17-21, 2027
My first-ever retreat in California – just east of LA – is happening in mid-February. Most people who meditate can describe how — sit, breathe, repeat. Fewer say why, or how the practice is supposed to follow them out the door and into the rest of the day. That gap is where Meditation and Mystery begins.
