Welcome to Commune, a global wellness community and online course platform featuring some of the world's greatest teachers.

We are on a mission to inspire, heal, pass down wisdom, and bring the world closer together. This is

the Commian podcast, where each week we explore the ideas and practices that help us live this

healthy, connected, and purpose-filled life. In addition to our courses on yoga, meditation,

and personal development, Commune also offers an array of social impact courses,

including unwinding prejudice, redefining leadership,

and organize a march.

If you're interested in enrolling in any of those courses for free,

email me at jeffK at onecommune.com.

Right now, we can all benefit from learning and growing in order to better serve our communities.

Okay, so this week I'm very excited to bring Sharon Salzberg into the commune family.

We are going to talk about Sharon's journey into Buddhism and also her new book coming out this

September titled Real Change, Mindfulness to Heal Ourselves and the World.

Sharon also has a new course on Commune called Compassionate Resilience. So just go to Onecommon.

And check out her new course, Compassionate Resilience.

So Sharon and I have known each other for quite a few years, but we've never actually sat down and had an in-depth discussion.

So this is a great opportunity for me to explore with her a variety of different topics from faith to resilience, from

joy to community, and how we're all living with distraction and how we can rid ourselves

of that preoccupation. So I welcome to the podcast this week.

Sharon Salzberg.

My name is Jeff Krasno and welcome to Commune.

Hi. how you doing?
