March 4, 2026 In this rare and intimate conversation, Buddhist practitioner and teacher Edward Sczudlo traces the full arc of a lifetime devoted to awakening — from a spontaneous recognition of continuity at age two, through profound transmissions, meditative breakthroughs, and the long work of integration, to the embodied, grace-oriented practice he now teaches in Bali. Together with host Kimberly, Edward explores what genuine spiritual realization actually looks and feels like from the inside, and why the ancient science of liberation the Buddha offered 2,600 years ago may be more urgently relevant — and more irreplaceable — than ever.
