Island Within: 15 Minute Guided Meditation

About this episode

This episode features a guided meditation exploring the concept of finding safety amidst life's uncertainties through the Buddha's teachings.

In this second talk of our Nibbāna series, we explore a powerful image from the Buddha’s teachings: an island in the midst of a flood. Through reflections on refuge, belonging, and letting go, we consider where true safety can be found when life feels uncertain and overwhelming. Prompt: When it feels like you’re drowning in life, what is your life raft? Sitting segment that complements the talk portion on the Island Within Group Date: 6/9/2026
