Welcome to Commune. This is Jeff Krasno. Our mission is to spread the ideas and practices of the world's greatest teachers.

We do that through online courses, a weekly newsletter, and this podcast. On the show, I excavate perennial spiritual questions,

like what is consciousness, what is the nature of reality? How do we live with purpose?

Reality is infinite. We experience a narrow bandwidth of it unless we transcend our senses through meditation.

We delve into practices and modalities that can heal trauma and help us thrive.

Mastering the art and the science of forgiveness is necessary to move through life.

A miracle is a shift in perception from fear to love.

We explore the spiritual traditions that help us acknowledge that we are all connected

We build a sturdy bridge between personal wellness and societal well-being.

It's only when you get people who are pursuing their dreams, living their truth, and feeling

good, that we can actually move the needle of society forward.

many of which I have read here on the show. In the book, I've also attached to various writing

exercises to the essays, exhortations for self-examination and expression, if you will.

So if you are inclined to purchase one, it is available at one commune.com slash communion.

I had the distinct honor to host Sad Guru on our Topanga property at an intimate gathering,
