    Love-Based Activism: A Conversation with Tara Brach and Mohsen Mahdawi - Part II
    Mar 26 2026

    In this conversation, Tara is joined by Mohsen Mahdawi—Palestinian refugee, Buddhist practitioner, and courageous voice for justice—whose life bridges worlds that are so often held apart. Growing up in a refugee camp and later emerging as a student leader and advocate for Palestinian dignity, Mohsen brings a rare integration of spiritual depth, clarity and dedication to societal transformation. Together they explore how inner awakening can ground fearless activism, what it means to stand for justice amid profound asymmetry of power, how to resist dehumanization in a polarized world, and whether a spiritually rooted movement for collective liberation is quietly emerging in our time. This dialogue is an invitation to reimagine activism as an expression of love, belonging, and courageous presence.

    Meditation: A Witnessing, Kind Presence (20:21 min)
    Mar 25 2026

    Starting with scanning through the body and awakening the senses, we then rest in presence, with the breath as a home base. The meditation invites an openness to whatever arises, and a gentle kind attention if we encounter physical or emotional pain. We end with a prayer that includes our own being and all beings.

I love this podcast and it's helped me so much. I have one small comment: in one of the episodes,Tara refers to anti-Zionist demonstrations as "anti-Semitic", which is a misconception.
