In this episode, Chloe Zelkha leads a meditation for moving into Sukkot, a holiday known in Jewish tradition as z'man simchateinu, the season of our rejoicing. The holiday is rooted in experiencing the reality of impermanence, the awareness that everything is always in flux, that change is inevitable. Sukkot invites us to consider whether we can stay awake to the ever-changing, precarious nature of life without living in fear. Can we meet impermanence with equanimity? Can we experience it as pleasant, even as a source of joy? Join Chloe Zelkha for a beautiful practice for the holiday of Sukkot, which begins Wednesday night, October 16, 2024. We hope you find it supportive and meaningful; thanks for being here.
