The Vedic Conversation - Introduction

Hello and welcome to The Vedic Conversation.

Join us over the coming weeks as we share knowledge and open a conversation about some of the biggest topics affecting all of us in our personal journeys that determine our levels of happiness and productivity and how we’re able to show up in the world. 

We will explore how the ancient knowledge of the Veda can help us navigate the modern world with ever increasing awareness and skill. 

Derrick Yanford in New York, Rory Kinsella in Sydney and Anthony Thompson in London

We are three teachers of Vedic Meditation, a simple and effortless meditation technique to help you access stillness inside so that you can unplug from the chaos of the world and uncover your authentic self. 

While we're far apart in the world, we're brought together by a desire to share the ancient wisdom that underlies our meditation practice so you too can benefit from it.

If you've never meditated, we hope to inspire you to start and if you like what you hear, we hope you’ll come and learn how with one of us if you're in our area.

If you're already a regular meditator, we hope you'll deepen your understanding and see how far you can go on this journey.

Each week we'll tackle on a new topic and approach it through the lens of storytelling and conversation.

We'll look at Adaptability through a sailing trip gone wrong, a teenage rejection and losing a job during lockdown.

We'll look at Surrender through the lens of life on a kibbutz, coping with a serious illness and making your peace with the rain. 

We'll look at growth, from the flowering of nature in the city to grappling with new technologies to changing your relationship with alcohol.

And we'll look at attachment, fear, finding silence and much more.

We'll each tell a personal story and then come together for a conversation where we tease out the meaning and significance of the Vedic lessons that lie behind each experience.

And we invite you, the viewer, to share your stories. In each episode we offer a takeaway, something practical you can do in your life and share back with us for future episodes.
