What does leadership ask of us in a time of rapid change?

In a new episode of Sacred Stream Radio, host Laura Chandler is joined by Hal Adler, founder of Leadership Landing, and Isa Gucciardi, Ph.D., founding director of the Foundation of the Sacred Stream, for a conversation about the inner dimensions of leadership.

Together, they explore the relationship between self-awareness and effective leadership, the importance of trust and authenticity, and the role that hope, courage, and personal responsibility can play in creating meaningful change.

The conversation also offers a preview of the upcoming Telluride Leadership Summit, October 4 - 6 in Telluride, Colorado, where Hal and Isa will join an accomplished group of leaders for an immersive exploration of the inner and outer work of leadership. Set in the mountains of Telluride, the Summit brings together reflection, experiential learning, time in nature, and practical approaches to leading with greater clarity, humanity, and purpose.

Episode 144 of Sacred Stream Radio is now available!

In the second episode of Remembering Robert A.F. Thurman, we return to a remarkable evening in 2008, when more than 80 people gathered in Isa Gucciardi, Ph.D. and Laura Chandler’s San Francisco living room to hear Bob teach.

At the heart of this previously unreleased talk is one of Bob’s favorite insights: Buddhism is realism. With his characteristic humor, intellectual clarity, and irreverence, Bob explores the Dharma as a way of seeing reality more clearly. Along the way, he offers a fresh perspective on the Four Noble Truths, samsara, the nature of self, and the possibility that reality may be far more joyful than we imagine.

🎧 Listen to Episode 144: Remembering Robert Thurman: Part 2: Buddhism Is Realism, wherever you listen to podcasts.
