Michael Lipson, PhD, counsels patients — mostly while walking through the Berkshire woods — and leads meditation groups and seminars internationally. Sign up below for the free weekly email, and join us for the online meditation group any Tuesday you like.
The world is alive and needs us, just as we need it. We live in extreme times, with so much beauty and so much injustice, so much horror and so much love. We can address the world in all its complexity to bring forth its, and our own, inherent sacredness.
We asked the captain what course
of action he proposed to take toward
a beast so large, terrifying, and
unpredictable. He hesitated to
answer, and then said judiciously:
“I think I shall praise it.”
—Robert Hass
Let’s respond with passion and skill
to collaborate with Earth’s visible and invisible realities.
For over 20 years, Michael has opened his Great Barrington office to the public each Tuesday, hosting weekly group meetings and helping hundreds of people find connectedness within themselves, with each other, and with the Earth.

featured findings
“It is given to very few spirits to discover that things and beings exist. Since childhood, my only desire has been to receive the full revelation of this before I die. It seems to me that you, too, are involved in this discovery.
Il est donné à très peu d’esprits de découvrir que les choses et les êtres existent. Depuis mon enfance je ne désire pas autre chose que d’en avoir reçu avant de mourir la révélation complète. Il me semble que vous êtes engagé dans cette découverte. ”
