Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 10: Host Julia Sagbien interviews Joshin Byrnes
Q: What do you see as the role of money and economics in Dharma practice in the West?
There is a critical examination of philanthropic capital and endowments, and how large investments can fund harms abroad. The guest argues that money must be openly discussed within Dharma communities, and suggests exploring alternative economic models that avoid retreat-center price points and elitism, aiming to democratize access to practice.
Episode 10: Host Julia Sagbien interviews Joshin Byrnes
Q: Joshin, how did your path lead you to Bread Loaf Mountain and Gather, and what does the space aim to embody beyond a traditional Zen center?
The guest explains a long journey—from Brooklyn roots and Catholic social justice to atheism, AIDS work, and philanthropy—before discovering Zen and Bernie Glassman's approach. Gather embodies the belief that practice is life, creating a welcoming, boundary-free space where homeless people, students, and community members can practice together, with no hierarchy, and where everyday activities like coffee and meals become spiritual practices.
Episode 9: Host Julia Sagebien Interviews Kaira Jewel Lingo
Q: What is One Earth Sangha and Earth Holders Sangha, and how do they inform your teaching and activism?
They are Dharma-based responses to the climate crisis that provide ecological tools, training, and practices to integrate mindfulness with environmental action.
Episode 9: Host Julia Sagebien Interviews Kaira Jewel Lingo
Q: How do you manage climate-related anxiety and avoid nihilism while staying constructive?
By balancing urgency with grounded practice, cultivating emotional awareness, staying connected with community, and developing practical skills for local resilience.
Episode 9: Host Julia Sagebien Interviews Kaira Jewel Lingo
Q: What attracted you to climate work and ecological engagement?
A combination of realizing that happiness and suffering are connected to how we treat the Earth, and recognizing a missing spiritual piece that mindfulness and a community could fill.
