He has practiced Insight meditation for fifteen years, including many silent retreats and studies directly under Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield. He is a teacher with the Insight Meditation Community of Washington, teaches regularly at Downtown Dharma DC, and is the founder of the Riverside Meditation Community in Brookmont, Maryland. He has read hundreds of the Buddha's discourses, and his teaching stays close to those early texts, tested against his own practice and against what he sees each day in the therapy room. A licensed clinical social worker trained in Somatic Experiencing and Internal Family Systems, he is the founder of Oaklight Counseling , a therapy practice in Bethesda, Maryland. He lives nearby with his wife and three children.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-13T20:20:44.304344+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dharma-7651813"},"episode":{"title":"Right Speech (Sammā-vācā)","slug":"right-speech-samm-v-c","published_at":"2026-01-07T02:11:27+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dharma-7651813/right-speech-samm-v-c","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dharma-7651813","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/dharmaand/3060721","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/397965/3060721/dharmaand/2026_08_11_09_27_24_a12d862d-6642-4dae-9ad8-e1ab52a5a35a.mp3","summary":"Hi everyone, This is a talk on Right Speech and its place in the Eightfold Path that I gave at Downtown Dharma on January 4th, 2026. The recording also includes the Q&A that followed the talk. Also, I learned last night that the audio posts I have been sending out are also podcasts, published to Apple Podcasts and Spotify and elsewhere. In order to make it easier to find them across the web, I gave the podcast a title. It’s called “Dharma &” beacuse it is about the Buddha’s teachings, which are often called the Dharma, as well as other related topics like therapy and mental health and my struggles getting small children into the bathtub. I hope you find it helpful. Upcoming Offerings: January 7th, 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM: Drop in class at River Road Unitarian Church, 6301 River Rd, Bethesda, MD 20817. March 12th - March 15th : Residential retreat in the Insight Meditation tradition. Seven Oaks Retreat Center, Madison, VA.
