Daily Meditation Recordings, with Milla Gregor – Week of April 22, 2024

Milla Gregor

We’re fortunate that Milla Gregor has generously offered to lead our daily meditation sessions for Europe and the UK. Click here to find out more about Milla and to view her other contributions to Sangha Live. Recordings will be posted by the end of the day of the live session.

 

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.
