Metaphysics & Mystery

Retrospective Introduction

To create this course, I sat down with Lauren Buckley for an extended discussion of metaphysics. The segment you’re about to watch was filmed just after that first 5-hour recording session. It gives some context for this course, what it is and what it is not, and how to engage it. Like the rest of the material, it is intentionally unedited and uncut.

Explore Our Discussion Forum(s)!

Between now and the first session, we encourage you to join our discussion forums for this course. Online discussion forums are a good place to meet others, engage in conversation, and also to self-organized small group meetings to dive deeper into the material. Introduce yourself and say a few words about what called you to this course! In future, each session will end with a meditation, practice, or questions for further exploration, and the discussion forum is a good place to engage with others online.

Having said that, you can also navigate this material on your own terms or with those in your local community. The discussion forum is here if you feel called to it, but not essential for full engagement in the program itself. Information on how to join is below.

Audio & Transcripts for This Introductory Session

At the end of each session you’ll find an audio versions of the videos, as well as transcripts. And by the end of the course, we’ll have a full audio playlist for download! Many thanks to Aaron Grubbs and Patsy Eisenstein for their audio prep, and to Grimm Culhane for his time transcribing this session!
