What if you’re not basically messed up?

Many of us carry an inner voice whispering, “You’re not good enough.”

Meditation offers a profound antidote: a connection to what’s called basic goodness—a sense of being whole, inherently worthy, and, yes, enough, just as we are. This isn’t exclusive to Buddhism; it’s a universal human experience. When we recognize our basic goodness, we can root our lives in a deep sense of worthiness and stop chasing happiness outside of ourselves.

You don’t need fixing—you need to awaken to your own basic goodness.

How it works

Bi-Monthly Talks
Twice a month, dive into thought-provoking teachings as Lodro unpacks the path of basic goodness. Through pre-recorded talks, available to watch on your own schedule, you’ll explore three transformative journeys:

Connecting with your own basic goodness.
Recognizing basic goodness in loved ones, strangers, and even those you dislike.
Seeing the basic goodness in society itself.

Live Guided Meditations
Join our vibrant community every Monday for live, online guided meditation sessions led by Lodro, Adreanna Limbach, and other esteemed guest teachers. These optional sessions are an opportunity to deepen your practice in real time, but if you can’t make it live, all sessions are recorded so you can participate on your schedule.

Monthly Meditator Meetups
Once a month, gather with our community for engaging conversations with Lodro and special guests. Together, you’ll explore insightful discussions and practice tailored techniques to strengthen your connection to basic goodness.
