This week’s topic is “Exploring the Art of Radical Rest”. Conditioned and surrounded by a restless culture, we are constantly driven towards self-optimisation and self-improvement.

Such a beautiful experience, to be able to listen to your recorded guidance. During the meditation, I was deeply moved by your invitation to allow peaceful presence.
