Detachment (or Buddhist non-attachment) is not indifference—it’s a deep self-compassion practice and the freedom to separate your inner peace from someone else’s moods or opinions. Detachment is a way of being deeply yourself and going through life feeling strong in who you are. Detachment means letting go on a daily basis so that what’s yours can find you. To build your inner strength and the empowerment to let go, join this talk and meditation session.
This four-week series explores how self-compassion can transform the way we show up in every relationship—whether with family, partners, colleagues, or ourselves. Each week will focus on a different dimension of self-compassion to yourself in a way that enriches connection to others. Through guided meditations, science of the mind, ancient philosophy (from Buddhism to Laozi to early Christianity and rabbinic Judaism), you will release unhealthy patterns of relating to others. You'll cultivate a deeper sense of inner safety in relation to the people in your life. Each relationship will get better as a result and you will feel more at ease!
Together, we will pause to remember the wisdom in our lineage, honor the gifts passed down, and release the storylines that no longer serve us today. This meditation is an invitation to feel grounded, supported, and deeply connected across generations.
As we move into the holiday season, let’s pause together to ask the simple but powerful question: why is there less love and connection around us than before? In this talk, we'll explore what has drained our capacity for intimacy—and, most importantly, what we can do about it. You’ll discover the 10 main reasons love feels scarce in our modern world, and the ways we can connect to it. Come recharge, reflect, and begin this holiday season with more warmth, energy, strength, and an open heart.
Let's start Thanksgiving with a 20-minute warm and connecting gratitude meditation. Elizabeth Pyjov will guide the 6th annual Thanksgiving Morning Gratitude Meditation at 10 am EST on November 27th.
