Reach Truth Podcast
Tasshin Fogleman
people are sacred, conversations are worship
I love people, and I love having conversations. Each person is a universe unto themselves—vast, mysterious, fascinating, precious, and sacred. Conversation is a way to truly see someone, to understand who they are in their fundamental essence and the present circumstances of their life, and to meet them there—to build relationship and connect deeply.
For me, my podcast is a place where I can practice this art, of seeing people deeply and connecting to them through conversation. I invite people who I’m deeply curious about and excited to talk with.

Spirituality and Environmental Action with Satyavayu
In this video, Tasshin speaks with Satya, the practice guide and vision coordinator for Touching Earth Sangha. Satya has done monastic training in multiple Zen traditions and has also learned from Tibetan Dzogchen masters, sufi musicians, Indian raga artists, and taiji teachers. Satya does not maintain any lineage affiliation, and encourages the questioning of the institution of sectarian lineage, as to whether it helps or hinders our practice of awakening.
Committed to remaining without a private dwelling, and fundamentally money-free, Satya settled in Portland, Oregon,where he has been leading a Sunday sitting group for many years, and has been helping Food-Not-Bombs bring free vegetarian feasts to public parks.
