This Extraordinary Moment: Meditative Inquiry w/ John Astin
This podcast is drawn from weekly meetings hosted by John Astin, author of the book, "This Extraordinary Moment." In these recorded sessions, John introduces a novel approach to meditative inquiry that invites the listener into a deep exploration of moment-to-moment experience, one that reveals the myriad ways reality transcends everything we imagine it to be and points to the profoundly liberating implications of this discovery.
