Sit Club with Davin Youngs

Suffering and the Truth of Impermanence | October 1, 2023

Are you willing to give up your suffering? Are you willing to stay present to now and let go of your past and your future? One of the central teachings of Buddhism is the truth of impermanence. Throughout time, teachers have taught that while suffering is a part of the human experience, there is a path for suffering to cease. That path is traveled most quickly when we recognize that nothing is permanent and that all things and experiences fall away. This truth is liberating if we allow ourselves to know it fully. 
In this Sit Club gathering we engage the teachings of Ajahn Chah and confront the truth of our suffering through a simple yet profound meditation practice.

Coming Home to Self-Compassion | September 10, 2023

In this Sit Club gathering, we come back to self-compassion as a starting place to find more freedom and ease in our lives. While it's easy to think of self-compassion as simply being kind to one's self, it is actually a portal to so much more and it starts by being able to stop and notice. Davin leads a guided meditation that will invite you to stop, notice and contemplate difficult situations in your life to better understand how you might respond from a place of self-compassion. In addition, he invites you to utilize the compassion you've received from others as a guide back to your own ability to connect with unconditional friendliness toward yourself. He uses a reading from Jack Kornfield as a guide.

Releasing The Grip | August 6, 2023

We often are told that change is hard and that spiritual waking is an epic endeavor, but what if all that you seek... peace, love, happiness, joy... is as easy to access as releasing your grip? In this gathering Davin explores the experience of holding versus releasing and how on the other grasping is indeed, happiness. He uses a reading from Rupert Spira's book "You Are The Happiness You Seek"

Inspired Action | July 16, 2023

What are the hallmarks of a rich spiritual life? In this gathering, Davin shares one that he believes might be the most tangible... the willingness to take inspired action. While meditation helps us cultivate the capacity to be in the present, the outcome is never more of the same. The inevitability of change is that which can inspire how it is that we navigate our every day lives. A reading by Charlotte Joko Beck guides this discussion further.

On Hope | July 2, 2023

Hope is a tricky topic when investigated under the framework of meditation and mindfulness. What role does hope play when we are working to accept things as they are, not cling to the past and not pine for the future? In this gathering, Davin explores a framework of hope that involves an increased confidence in what already is. Knowing that there is more built in. He uses the words of Sharon Salzberg as a guide.
