Daily Meditation Recordings, with Ulla Koenig – Week of 05 May, 2025
We are delighted to have Ulla Koenig guiding our Daily Meditation sessions this week. May these offerings support and enrich your practice.
This week’s theme is: Touching Ground
Whether it is the dynamics of the world that stir our hearts and minds, or personal challenges, as human beings we are confronted in many ways with the fragility of life. Touching ground, finding something to orient and trust in, is a deep need and yet not an easy endeavor. We dedicate this week to exploring the idea of taking refuge and translating it into a meaningful act that we can participate in no matter what.
Our Dharma Library thrives through collective generosity. Your donation helps sustain this offering for our entire community.
