Commune with Jeff Krasno

This week's essay is from our beloved bon vivant Laurie-Beth Robbins (“LBR”), a regular Commune contributor who drinks life straight from the firehose.

The answers are yours to shape. Commusings is our Sunday morning news...

This week, Jeff geeks out about neuroplasticity — our ability to learn new skills and rewire the brain, even later in life. It turns out there are many techniques to optimize the creation of new neural networks so that we can be alert, focus, and learn.

As a poet, Jacqueline Suskin never anticipated playing a role in the health and wellness world. But after writing more than forty thousand spontaneous poems in public she has also recognized that poetry can be a precise package for delivering healing.

Today’s ramble from Jeff is an excavation of Stoicism inspired by his family's unfortunate Parcheesi and chocolate habits.

Commusings is our Sunday morning newsletter where we take a moment to think deeply on the topics of spirituality,...

The philosophy of Stoicism is more than 2,000 years old, but remains remarkably practical. Like the modern wellness movement, Stoicism is concerned with how to “live the good life,” and offers advice on negative self-talk, building better habits, managing events outside your control, and reflecting on your day. In this episode, philosopher Jules Evans shares ancient wisdom (and plenty of pithy quo...

In some ways this conversation serves as Part 2 of our first podcast with Zach Bush, The Real Roots of Disease. However, this conversation is so expansive in scope — from the very micro of what is occurring right now in your small intestine to the hyper macro of the spiritual future of humanity – that no one description can encompass its breadth. Zach’s philosophy of medicine, human health, and th...

If you’ve been working all your life for the eventual payout of happiness, your moment has arrived — because you cannot be happy in the future.

He and Jeff also talk about his new project Growth Day, the research behind why...

We all remember where we were on September 11, 2001 — and the feeling of common grief and unity that followed. Now 20 years later, we have a new common enemy, and it's not COVID or climate change...

We strut through life confident that we are the thinker of our thoughts and feeler of our feelings. But, of course, that conception of reality is itself just a thought or a feeling. When we rigorously examine the nature of thoughts, feelings and sensations, we discover that we rarely are their sole authors. Commusings is our Sunday morning newsletter where we take a moment to think deeply on the t...

This audio workshop is an extended excerpt of Charles Eisenstein's Commune course, Political Hope. Our politics run on a mentality of war, and war mentality rests on the story of separation. The problem, as the saying goes, is that if you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail. If our go-to solution is to find the enemy and defeat them by force, we become blind to any other way of solving pro...
