A new volume of original poetry from the bestselling creator of Poetry of Impermanence, Mindfulness, and Joy.
In Dharma Talk, award-winning poet John Brehm explores the perennial themes of aging, compassion, emptiness, nonseparation, and more. At once poignant and humorous, Brehm’s gentle, wry poems remind us that the personal and the universal are not different—and point us to the Dharma of everyday life.

Building on the practices taught in Dr. Alejandro Chaoul’s first Wisdom Academy course, this course provides valuable insight into the trulkhor (magical movement) practices emphasized in the blessed Zhang Zhung Nyen Gyu tradition. Experienced teacher Alejandro Chaoul provides practical guidance on a range of powerful yogas, meticulously demonstrating each individual movement. You’ll learn how to clear obstacles of body, breath, and mind and use these three purified doors of action to encounter your Buddha nature.
Grief sometimes leaves us without words. Yet narrating our feelings, thoughts, and experiences can be so helpful in relating to our inner world. These cards are an invitation to begin that process.
From the bestselling author of Bearing the Unbearable, here are 52 cards with prompts for exploring grief and starting conversations about those whom we’ve lost. These cards can be used as part of a contemplative practice, as journaling prompts, by or with therapists, or used in community with family, friends, or with a grief support group. They can be read aloud, alone or with others. You can read one card prior to meditation, or simply take one in and reflect deeply on what arises. However you use these cards, please take the time to really be with each one, dive deeply—and do so with a spirit of love and compassion for all beings, including yourself.
