   Notes de l’épisode

   Welcome to Awakened Living 2027. A live, year-long training in Embodied Buddhist Meditation and Psychology for practitioners ready to go beyond an introduction — the four foundations of mindfulness, the four noble truths, the nervous system, and the Brahmavihāras, held for a small cohort across a full year.

   Awakened Living is a year-long container for the study and practice of classical Buddhist psychology, taught live, in real time, with a small cohort of no more than twenty-five people. This isn't an introduction to mindfulness — it's for practitioners who already sit, who want the underlying map rather than another technique, and who are ready to commit to twice-weekly live sessions across a full year of training.

   The year moves through four sequential trainings, each building on what came before. The Satipaṭṭhāna itself is the practice running underneath three of the four semesters — the Noble Truths and the Brahmavihāras are both studied through it, not alongside it — with the third semester's nervous-system work deliberately set apart. Together they form a complete psychology: how to know the mind, how to work with what's difficult, how the body itself holds and releases what the mind cannot always reach, and how to end in an open heart rather than a private practice.
