Weekdays, February 2–27, 2026

This February, I am honored to be part of Living an Ethic of Love: Celebrating Black Dharma Teachings, a month-long online series offered through New York Insight Meditation Center. Throughout Black History Month, this offering brings together Black dharma teachers for shared reflection and practice rooted in lived experience, ancestral wisdom, and long-standing contemplative traditions.

Together, we explore how reflection supports resilience, how community sustains practice, and how love functions not as sentiment, but as an ethic for living in relationship with the world. These teachings hold paradox with care, grief, and joy, struggle, and beauty existing side by side as part of a living and embodied tradition.

Participants will receive one prerecorded dharma teaching each weekday, delivered by email. All talks remain accessible for at least one year, allowing engagement at a personal and sustainable pace. The series is open to people of all backgrounds and levels of experience, whether returning to practice or encountering these teachings for the first time.
