.@_awbery_ post: 📺 video and description of the atmosphere of an Evolving Ground Community Retreat. Quite different from mainstream meditation retreats, and also from traditional Vajrayana!

Most of our relational problems aren't about events or beliefs, they're about deeply held stuckness in patterns of interaction.
Time for my Kaleidoscope of Interactions course again :-)
Big changes since its initial run in 2023. Evolving Ground has iterated over it and we've turned it into a three part series. We're running Part I as a managable 4 week introduction, starting this Wednesday, February 18th. More 👇

There are four sessions (Wednesdays @ 7 pm ET):
• February 18th: An overview of Kaleidoscope, including a framework for understanding patterns of interaction
• February 25th: Introducing Liberating Perception, and how to discover effortless awareness in perceptions
• March 4th: How perception connects to interpretation, and how to recognize interpretations when they arise
• March 11th: What to practice, plus connections to the remainder of the Kaleidoscope series

࿇Vajrayana࿇ is the Buddhist path of relationship—with the world, other people, and yourself. Evolving Ground's 2026 courses emphasize that theme!
"Approaching Vividness" is a great experiential introduction. The Core Practice Intros give you the tools to explore further.

🎆 Evolving Ground has an exciting new curriculum for 2026! Online events, core online courses, frequent local gatherings, and major in-person retreats. Here are regularly-scheduled online events... I particularly like the Interaction Studio and Interaction Dojo descriptions:

cool to see my heart monitor log both intense stress and deep relaxation during my emotional coaching session with @andrew0blevins. It always surprises me to see the relaxation bc I remember myself yelling and sobbing and stuff but ofc I also feel a subsequent deep comfort and security

> I really ought to start my days even earlier with meditation, and do more frequent shorter meditation sessions throughout the day. My life really really gets better.

We finished an in person retreat at our place in Boulder yesterday with Lama Ying-rig from Finland. The purpose of the retreat was to learn some practices from the Tibetan lineages of Ling Gésar - practices like rLung Ta (windhorse), and dancing with opposition.

The retreat was fitting with the Evolving Ground community theme of fearless intimacy. Earlier this year we introduced a Dzogchen approach to tonglen (སྟོང་ལེན giving-receiving) and Ling Gésar sadhana. Ying-rig's teaching on martial practices and opening the subtle body (རྩ་རླུང rTsa rLung) continued in that vein.

We’re on holiday!!! It doesn’t happen very often.
Perfect opportunity to work on creative projects together, which means regular DMs from one end of the hotel room to another.

The Kyoto School of philosophy, particularly Keiji Nishitani's book _Religion and Nothingness_.
I was asked how _Meaningness_ relates to it, given apparent similarities in the treatment of nihilism, and why I haven't written about Nishitani. I replied:

I co-authored a post with @andrew0blevins, Choices in Feeling. The "choices" part is about different ways that we can relate to emotional reactivity. The post covers self-regulation (the mainstream approach) and Liberating Emotion (an unconventional approach) the contemporary Vajrayana practice that we teach in Evolving Ground.
eG's upcoming seven-week course “Liberating Emotions” will cover this topic in much greater depth, with scaffolding methods, guided practices, and interactive support. It begins on Tuesday, September 30, 7:00 to 8:30pm ET.
Post and course details follow:
