Friends,

Our Wisdom app adventure deepens with a new retreat in a new form — an offering coming out of a very special gathering I attended last month in Dharamshala, India, hosted by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Former On Being guest, neuroscientist Richie Davidson, pulled it all together, and our friend Roshi Joan Halifax was also there.

I was invited to be present as a “mentor” to fourteen young people from around the world who’ve been identified as “compassionate leaders” — beautiful lives who bring the generative landscape of our time vividly into relief for me. I could not, before I left, have begun to envision the app retreat that emerged, which we will introduce with a live event on Nov. 15. 

The six Wisdom Practices get, in On Being spirit, at the complicated and vitalizing meaning of spiritual notions like oneness, and compassion itself. I let the gathering point me towards learnings to take away and bring back to you. And this has yielded a surprising entryway for us to continue to explore and prototype new ways for community and practice to come together. 

We are putting the final touches on the retreat as I write...
