Devin Berry, a dharma teacher and co-founder of Deep Time Liberation, has been practicing meditation for more than two decades. His approach is primarily informed by the classical teachings of early Buddhism and the Insight Meditation tradition. Devin’s training includes Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction teacher training, the East Bay Meditation Center Commit to Dharma Program, Spirit Rock’s Dedicated Practitioners Program, and Insight Meditation Society’s four-year Residential Retreat Teachers Program.
Devin also co-founded both the Teen Sangha and Men of Color Deep Refuge Group at East Bay Meditation Center in Oakland. He is passionate about the power of witnessing and storytelling as a liberation tool. He is deeply committed to the personal and collective liberation of marginalized communities, knowing that through the integration of reflection and insight, clarity and wisdom give rise to wise action. I invite to visit www.devinberry.org or https://www.deeptimelib.org to learn more about Devin’s work.
In this episode, I refer to a 1989 film by Marlon Riggs titled Tongues Untied. You may find a short clip with the referenced text here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0ulJASJ7Aw
Lastly, I mentioned that I was re-reading “The Conversation” by James Baldwin but in French this time. Interestingly, that’s the title used for “Go Tell it on the Mountain” in France. Visit https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/authors/1261/james-baldwin/ to view the full list of his books.
