Daily Meditation Recordings, with Jaya Rudgard – Week of 07 April, 2025

Jaya Rudgard

We are delighted to have Jaya Rudgard leading our Daily Meditation sessions this week. May they bring nourishment to your practice.

This week’s theme is: Dharma Here and Now: The Art of Being Present

As meditators we aspire to being awake to life. We know that this life with its gifts, challenges and opportunities, only ever happens NOW, yet this NOW often eludes us. This week we’ll investigate what helps and hinders our fully inhabiting the moments of our day, and what possibilities might emerge when we do so.

An auspicious day
