In this talk we explore how Buddhist meditation and modern psychology work to recognize the many sides within us such as the critic, the caretaker, the worrier, and the dreamer. We look at how the Buddha taught not self as a way to see thoughts, feelings, and sensations as changing processes rather than fixed identity. We also touch on Internal Family Systems which shows how protective and vulnerable parts arise for a reason and how a compassionate self can relate to them with care. Together these perspectives reveal that our parts are not enemies but guides and when met with curiosity and compassion they lead us back toward wholeness.Prompt: What is a part of your personality that has been more active recently?Talk segment that complements the sitting portion on Multiplicity Within.Group Date: 9/30/2025

Change: Talk
This week Olivia reflects on change through the lens of the Fall Equinox and the Buddha’s teaching on impermanence. Together we’ll explore why change can feel so difficult, how clinging or control leads to suffering, and what it means to meet each moment with awareness and choice. By practicing with impermanence—on and off the cushion—we open space for growth, freedom, and possibility. Prompt: What is a change that is currently impacting you and how are you responding to it?Talk segment that complements the sit portion on Change.Group Date: 9/23/2025
