Host Michael Taft talks with meditation teacher and creator Henry Shukman about love, original love vs. original sin, wellbeing intense enough to be called “blessedness,” seeing your original face outside of time, the 4 zones of affection, experience as inseparable boundless space, experiencing love as the aim of our lives, and far more.
Henry Shukman is founding father of the Original Love meditation program, spiritual director emeritus at Mountain Cloud Zen Center in Santa Fe, NM, and the creator of several award-winning books of poetry and fiction. His newest book (HarperOne) is released in July 2024. Henry has taught at Google, Harvard Business School, the Institute of American Indian Arts and Oxford Brookes University. His poetry has been featured within the Latest Yorker, Sunday Times, and Guardian, and his essays within the Latest York Times and Outside. He has an M.A. from Cambridge and an MLitt from St Andrews. Henry is co-founder of The Way, a meditation app that gives a singular zero-choice path of deep meditation training.
