OM DENNE PODCAST 🔗
Why I Started Sitting is a story-first meditation podcast. Less dharma talk, more the stories behind the stillness.
Each week, host and ten-year meditator James Deeney sits down with serious practitioners - Buddhist teachers, long-term meditators and leading voices in mindfulness - to trace the real human story behind the practice. What made them sit in the first place? Why did they keep going when it got hard? And what started to change in their lives over the years?
Here, we explore the stories behind the stillness.
