The ancient Buddhist teaching of the Two Arrows reveals how we compound our own misery with self-blame, anger, and resistance. In this video, you'll learn how to practice mindfulness, accept reality, and cultivate self-compassion so you can stop firing that second, optional arrow and find true peace.

After returning from a week-long Dharma Teacher Training retreat with Insight Meditation Institute Australia, I felt inspired to share some key insights from my experience. In this video, I explore the themes of letting go, awe and wonder, and generosity—how these teachings unfolded during the retreat and how they can support a more mindful and connected life. Letting go isn’t just about release—it’s about dissolving our deep patterns of suffering with compassion. Awe and wonder open us to the beauty of life, deepening our connection to the natural world. And generosity, beyond financial giving, is a practice of open-hearted sharing in all aspects of life. I hope these reflections resonate with you on your mindfulness journey.
