What if the most rebellious thing you can do right now is stay open?
Do you harden up, go into your head or numb out when the heat is on?
Do you sense there's somewhere deeper to come from, but you're not sure how to get there?
These are tender and tumultuous times. But your heart can do what your mind cannot.
Walk with us
Last year sixty people in our community of practice in Melbourne/Naarm came together to explore the pathway of the heart. Not as a nice abstract idea, not on an exotic retreat, but in the midst of real life.
Work stress. Deaths of loved ones. Parenting through chaos. Dishes. Desires. Inner tumult. Standing up to systems.
And our findings? Rebellious.
The heart can grow in difficult moments.
And you can harness its great powers to heal, discern, and act.

It's rebellious to turn towards your heart right now
It's rebellious to:
- Like yourself in a culture that profits from your sense of lack.
- Stay loyal to yourself, however you perform.
- Pause and be curious when you'd usually be harsh with yourself or another.
- Open to a sustaining love in the midst of so much uprooting.
– And it's possible, in the midst of daily life.
What you do matters. Where you're coming from matters.
It ripples out.
Here's What You'll Learn in This Free Class with Jess
- The transformational power of loving-kindness, and how to practise it yourself.
- Why your heart is more reliable than a mind running on fear — and how to come back to it.
- Why loving-kindness sharpens your discernment rather than dulling it — empowering you to say a clear NO in service of what you want to protect.
- Why tenderness underpins courage and resilience.
- Jess' story of facing up to her own needs, through a stark experience in the desert.
- Stories of how heart practice led to healing, clear seeing, and fresh action in people's lives.

Jess Huon
Dharma teacher Jess Huon has been practising for 30 years and teaching for 20, long before mindfulness was a buzzword.
Authorised in the Insight and Open Dharma traditions, informed by Tibetan teachings and long stretches of solitary forest retreat, she eventually jumped the monastery walls to include her whole self in her practice: body, feminine, lineage, land.
She teaches from what she's learned and felt: that resilience and courage come from tenderness. That the heart can handle what the mind cannot.
This is dharma for the times we're in, not a private getaway, but practice in the grit of real life.
This class is for you if...
- You're feeling overwhelmed, stressed or concerned by these times.
- You sense the transformative power of love and you want to know it on the inside.
- You're curious about how meditation can support you in your own life: in work, relationships, parenting, creativity, activism.
- You're hungry for a deeper well of support to draw from in your daily life.
I am fully aware we are practising in raging seas.
And I fully stand by it.
Because I want you to belong to your own imperfect life.
To respond to yourself with kindness rather than aggression.
To have ripples of wellbeing coursing through you as you face what's hard.
