Carrying the Baton: Leadership, Loss, and the Long Arc of Practice-Jomon, Zen Teacher

About this episode

Jomon explores the essence of belonging to a spiritual tradition through themes of gratitude and leadership.

In this talk Jomon asks what it really means to belong to a spiritual tradition — and finds that the answer has less to do with personal achievement than with gratitude, flow, and showing up to pass something precious forward. ★ Support this podcast ★
