Home Base Hangout—our community gathering!
Thursday, June 19 at 12pm ET
On Thursday, June 19, 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. We kick things off with a guided meditation, then go into open discussion, with ridiculousness, possible sniffles, ground-shaking epiphanies and a few drooly parts. Ask anything and everything related to your meditation practice, your mindfulness challenges, your strange neurodiverse brains and / or your random cosmic yearnings.

CEC Summer Retreat: Meditate! Celebrate! Activate!
August 29-September 1, 2025
Five Oaks Education & Retreat Centre, Ontario, Canada
The
’s legendary summer retreat is back! We sit in MEDITATION through the day, a mix of solo and guided excursions into sound, energy, openness, silence and gratitude … thus opening a space for our afternoon ACTIVATION sessions, where we play with our insights live, in community. What emerges naturally when there’s trust and relaxation and the right proportion of irreverence? CELEBRATION! Evening song circles around the campfire, and an ebullient dance party on the final night. Basically we have a good time. What else is meditation for if it can’t deliver on that?Come join
, Erin Oke, , and others from the CEC Teaching Team, including Jeff, who will likely be virtual, as he drives a packed car across the country to start a (probable) year-long family sabbatical near Vancouver …THIS WEEK ON THE MIND BOD ADVENTURE POD
This week on the pod, we’re joined by Chan teacher and sociologist Rebecca Li for a luminous practice session in Silent Illumination, a deceptively simple, deeply transformative form of open awareness meditation.
Rebecca guides us through a full-body relaxation and easefully invites us into the “method of no method,” offering a living glimpse into this subtle and powerful practice. As we settle into presence together, she shares insights from her lineage, her own experience, and her new book Illumination.
This one is full of practical wisdom, unexpected laughter, and real-life Dharma. Whether you’re new to open awareness or have been sitting for decades, Rebecca’s gentle clarity and precision will meet you right where you are. 🫠
