10% Happier with Dan HarrisThis Conversation Actually Explains Oneness With The Universe | Sebene SelassieI grew up with that famous Groucho Marx joke, “I wouldn’t want to belong to a club that would have me as a member.” It always resonated with me.

But my guest today, Sebene Selassie, is taking this concept of belonging to a much, much deeper level. To the “oneness with the universe” level.

Instinctively, many of us might prefer to rush to the barricades, or Twitter, or the fetal position.

We’re bringing on two amazing meditation teachers, Jeff Warren and Sebene Selassie, to take your questions about the value of meditation in this difficult time.
