Rabbit Hole

In this episode, DJ Cashmere sits down with meditation teacher Jeff Warren, who has spent decades exploring consciousness, neurodivergence, and the practical side of meditation. Jeff shares his own experience with ADHD, bipolarity, and the ups and downs of life, offering tools and insights that listeners can use immediately.

This video was filmed at Omega Institute for our “Meditation Party” retreat. It features a guided meditation by Jeff on how to work with intrusive thoughts, and then Dan, Seb and Jeff all chat about their weird brains, along with members of the audience!

In this episode we talk about: The perks of meditating with friends, the importance of friendship in chaotic times, how to have difficult conversations, authenticity vs wanton oversharing, working with the thorny stuff that can come up in relationships, advice for people pleasers, and building meaningful relationships in the age of social media

In this episode, we talk about: how much is enough, the illusion of security, the importance of being able to talk to your friends about this stuff, and the power of identifying your own money story, in other words, finding the point of origination for your own neuroses on the subject

Recorded live at the Omega Institute, Jeff guides us through two different approaches to being attentive to our experience — followed by a discussion with Dan and Sebene.

We also talk about: whether it is possible to be a failed meditator; grief versus mourning; and meditation tips for parents.

How To Handle Literally Anything with Sebene Selassie and Jeff Warren

Welcome to the third installment of Meditation Party, an experiment we’re running with a chattier format – more of a morning zoo vibe, but way deeper, of course.

In this episode, Jeff shares what it’s like to be a meditation teacher who has ADHD. We also take listener questions, discussing topics like drugs. Specifically, psychedelics — and whether you’re violating Buddhist precepts if you take them. We also talk about how frustrating it can be to repeatedly wake up from distraction in meditation.

This episode is the first in an experimental new series called Meditation Party. Dan takes listener calls with fellow meditators Sebene Selassie and Jeff Warren and get candid about their practices and dealing with life.
