Creative Engagement in an Imperfect World
Instead of resisting an urge to respond or feeling paralyzed by a lack of control, embracing imperfection and cultivating compassion can help us find our way forward.
Gavin Milne
Gavin Milne has been practicing Insight Meditation since 2004 and was invited to train as a teacher under the guidance of Yanai Postelnik in 2015. Inspired and influenced by other paths, Gavin is particularly interested in exploring practice wherever we find ourselves—whether in the midst of family life or responding to the wider issues of our era.
Our Inner Threat
The inner critic causes more than low self-esteem—it can also threaten the depth of our meditation practice.

Beyond the Inner Critic
The "inner critic" is a pattern of thought and feeling that undermines us and infiltrates our meditation practice. It keeps us striving. It keeps us stuck. This six-part online course will teach you to recognize the inner critic and disarm it through mindful investigation and contemplative exercises. Join Laura Bridgman and Gavin Milne as they show you how to disengage from painful self-judgment and enjoy life beyond the inner critic.
