This week’s topic is “Presence: At the Heart of Everything, Free from Everything”

    Daily Meditation Recordings, with Ayala Gill – Week of 02 June, 2025

    We’re delighted to have Ayala Gill guiding our Daily Meditation sessions this week. May these sessions support and deepen your practice.

    This week’s theme is: The Body is a Doorway to Love

    Through relating to the elements of the body, we cultivate a presence that is grounded, awake, open, relaxed and spacious.

    Our Dharma Library thrives through collective generosity. Your donation helps sustain this offering for our entire community.
