This week’s theme is “Breath, Body, Connection and Reflection”

 

Breath, body and connection are areas of practice that come up again and again in Buddhist teaching. We’ll explore them in different combinations, and reflect on how they can support your meditation practice and your wider life, with all their opportunities for relationship, engagement and embodied presence.

 

For those who are interested, Milla mentioned the teachers Leigh Brasington and Ethan Nichtern this week. Other important teachers in her life are Martin Aylward, Martine Batchelor and Lama Rod Owens. More information about Milla can be found in her bio here.

  • Daily Meditation Recordings, with Ulla Koenig – Week of March 29, 2021

    This week’s theme is: Re-Enchanting Our Practice. As much as anything else our practice of mindfulness and meditation can become a habit, and either turn dull, or come with a sense of obligation, work, or duty. In this week together, we will explore ways to bring imagination, embodiment, and intimacy to our practice. After all, meditation is as much a craft as an artform – a chance to discover inner landscapes, hidden mysteries and fascinating insights.
