I was lucky enough to take a few classes with Ethan and I highly recommend his podcast and following him on social media. I really appreciate how outspoken he is about politics too. 🙏❤️
Ethan Nichtern is a needed voice in the mindfulness world and the world in general. He helps us figure out how to live with mindfulness and compassion in a world that doesn’t always encourage that. I’m glad I recently found his teachings, books, and this podcast. He makes walking the road home feel a little less dark and lonely.
He is using his podcast to promote hateful, political views. I listened to get a perspective on Buddhism like the podcast promotes itself to be. I do not want a political podcast nor do I want to hear his hateful assessment of politics. He is an insincere Buddhist disciple who promotes nonsense. Useless loser of a guide
The episode featuring Lisa Weinert on The Road Home podcast is an enlightening discussion on the power of storytelling for spiritual and psychological healing. Lisa's insights into why writing can be challenging and how it connects to embodiment are both profound and inspiring. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the therapeutic potential of storytelling.
As an aspiring Buddhist from Kyiv, I really don’t know any other great podcasts or other forms of content that would be as beneficial and easy to digest as this beautiful podcast. Thank you a lot, this feels like the Sangha we all need so much.
