Home Base Hangout—our community gathering!

Thursday, August 28 at 12pm ET

This Thursday, August 28, we’ll host our Home Base Hangout, a virtual gathering for paid subscribers at 12pm ET.

Home Base Hangout is a chance to connect with Jeff and fellow subscribers. This week, Jeff will be on the road, probably somewhere in Alberta, driving cross country to Vancouver with his dad. So expect live-action motel surroundings, or maybe a mountain view from the side of the highway. Homebase Hangout is a mix of guided meditation and discussion, an opportunity to get feedback on anything and everything related to your meditation practice, your mindfulness challenges, your strange neurodiverse brains and / or your random cosmic yearnings. Click below to join. Hope to see you there.

THIS WEEK ON THE MIND BOD ADVENTURE POD

This week’s episode is an exciting one: Stephen Porges is the visionary scientist who gave us polyvagal theory—a framework that’s reshaped how the world understands trauma, safety, and human connection. His work has influenced everyone from therapists to meditation teachers to parents trying to soothe a colicky baby. And now he’s here with us, alongside his brilliant co-author Karen Onderko, to talk about their new book and the Safe and Sound Protocol.

This episode is part science, part storytelling, and part live experiment.

And because we’re all about real-time practice over here, Jeff guides Tasha, Stephen and Karen in a short meditation. Afterwards, Stephen deconstructs it through a polyvagal lens, showing us how context, choice, and connection are the nervous system’s love language.
