About this episode

<p dir="ltr">We're in the midst of an exciting evolution of the overall 10% Happier project. In our quest to make this podcast more actionable – to help you operationalize all the game-changing ideas you encounter on this pod – we're now offering guided meditations to accompany each full episode of the show, available to paid subscribers at <a href="http://danharris.com/">DanHarris.com</a>. For the month of August, those meditations will come from <a href= "https://www.kairajewel.com/">Kaira Jewel Lingo</a>, a Buddhist teacher who spent 15 years as a monastic in the Plum Village tradition.</p> <p dir="ltr">In this bonus episode, you'll hear our head of content, DJ Cashmere, in conversation with Kaira Jewel, sharing some of her fascinating backstory. From a communal Christian community in Chicago, to a Zen monastery in the south of France, to making her life as an independent teacher in New York, you'll hear how the thread of "voluntary simplicity" runs through all of it. </p> <p dir="ltr">Related Episodes:</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://www.danharris.com/p/how-to-keep-your-relationships-on-133?utm_source=publication-search"> How To Keep Your Relationships On the Rails | Kaira Jewel Lingo</a></p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://www.danharris.com/p/a-buddhist-recipe-for-handling-turmoil-73e?r=4o5o&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false"> A Buddhist Recipe for Handling Turmoil | Kaira Jewel Lingo</a></p> </li> </ul> <p dir="ltr">Get ready for another Meditation Party at Omega Institute!
