In this conversation at Tassajara we touch on the presence and awren...

Elana and I have been friends for almost 15 years. We helped create a mediation school in NYC in 2014, and I truly treasure the moments I get lucky enough to connect with her - it always shifts something subtly but powerful in my life.

Swami is just a great human. Achieving the title of Swami at a young age after leaving a career in high finance in NYC, he really understands what is going on today and can speak to it so well with deep ancient lineage.
