  • Daily Meditation Recordings, with Milla Gregor – Week of July 22, 2024

    This week’s theme is “Comfort and Discomfort”. Comfort and discomfort can show up in practice, as well as in life. In what ways are they interwoven? What assumptions do we make about them that might hold us back from fully engaging? We’ll explore these ideas through meditation and contemplation, to see what can be learned – and liberated – in support of living and practising more freely and fully.

    We know the cost to the reality of life through deprivation of love.
