Wisdom Insights

These wisdom insights, or ‘mini satsangs’, are short videos with a particular theme or topic of focus to explore together on our caminos of personal growth and self evolution.

Generally these topics of focus are questions that I’m regularly ask by pilgrims or they naturally arise in our conversations, explorations and experiences.

The intention of these short, weekly sharings is to invite self reflection, deeper contemplation and communal exploration of aspects of living a more deeply connected life. Deeper connection with ourselves and deeper connection with life itself.

What is a ‘satsang’?

Often it’s described simply as a wisdom talk. However, the word satsang (in sanskrit) derives from two roots: 1) Sat = meaning Truth and 2) Sang = Sangha, meaning community, togetherness. Thus, in our context here, we are coming together to explore and seek Truth, deeper understanding, expanding our awareness, refining our intellect… TOGETHER!

And ‘mini’, as we are purposefully intending to jump into these aspects and contemplations quickly, so that we may chew on them, slowly, as we go about our day or reflections. Obviously we can only explore so much in 5-10 minutes and many of these topics are worthy of years of inquiry. However, the intention to make them accessible and to bring them into our field of consciousness… for whatever we consistently focus on, informs our direct experience of life.

So, what makes these mini satsangs really powerful? The exploration of the sangha, the community… by all of us. EVERYBODY has a wisdom, a wisdom of lived experience... and your contribution and insight is so valuable. How?

You can share at the bottom of the videos on Youtube and if the conversation is lively we can bring it into blog format, share others insights and explore it more deeply. Also, it would be wonderful if you write to us, posing questions, giving feedback and tell us what is serving your or not.
