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,

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