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":"The Dharma of Chasing Followers","slug":"the-dharma-of-chasing-followers","published_at":"2026-09-01T17:52:35+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dharma-7651813/the-dharma-of-chasing-followers","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dharma-7651813","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/dharmaand/3112492","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/397965/3112492/dharmaand/2026_09_01_14_11_10_27fb597f-0cca-4af7-bfac-838e947a56c4.mp3","summary":"A talk on the dharma of chasing followers: fame, failure, and the fear of being nobody.
