Talk
The Joy of Allowing Life To Be — Sebene Selassie
A talk on allowing experience to be as it is, from an Insight Meditation-trained teacher.
About the teacher
A quiet, direct path.
Sebene Selassie trained within the Insight Meditation lineage before becoming a core teacher on the Ten Percent Happier app, bringing a secular, accessible framing to practice while writing and teaching distinctively on belonging, race and identity within predominantly white meditation spaces, most fully in her book You Belong.
She co-leads the 'Meditation Party' retreat with Dan Harris and Jeff Warren at Omega Institute from 16 to 18 October 2026 (in-person and livestreamed), alongside her Ancestors to Elements newsletter and further workshops and retreats.
