Nirmala Werner

We’re fortunate that Nirmala Werner has generously offered to lead our daily meditation sessions. To find out more about Nirmala, and to view her other contributions to Sangha Live, click here. Recordings will be posted by the end of the day of the live session.

 

This week’s topic is “Bringing Death into Life”.

 

During this week we will look into what supports us in living life more fully with integrity and in alignment with our deepest values.

 

We will explore how the contemplation of our own death supports freedom, and will make space for our protective strategies that prevent us from being close to death. We’ll explore how to live life with care, wisdom and compassion.

 

(Nirmala has asked us to share this video that she mentioned during this week’s sessions: Charnel ground meditation)

    The Dharma on the front lines: how to work with conflict.

    Recorded : February 26, 2017

    Peace sometimes feels impossible to find. It is there for a while then something happens and conflict or friction returns. It may be conflict with ourselves, in relationships to people close to us, at our work place, or between social groups. Often we can feel despaired that despite much dharma practice and meditation, conflict keeps…

    Daily Meditation Recordings, with Nathan Glyde – Week of 07 September, 2026

    This week’s theme is: Awakening Confidence . Doubt in freedom’s possibility, and in our capacity to embody it, is one of the stickiest hindrances on this path – it doesn’t just cloud the mind but hollows out our willingness to practice at all. Yet by meeting each hindrance with wisdom and skill, we build the confidence to dissolve doubt. Our Dharma Library thrives through collective generosity.

    Touching the Earth: Turning the Mind to the Roots

    Recorded : April 10, 2022

    During this session we discuss the teaching on ‘wisely directing one’s attention to the roots’ (yoniso manasikāra). It is a remarkably pragmatic approach to contemplative practice and one of Early Buddhism’s unique contributions to the human emancipatory effort from suffering.

    Daily Meditation Recordings, with Christopher Titmuss – Week of 02 February, 2026

    This week’s theme is: Release First. If Not, Then Explore Renewal.

    Release means liberation, such as person released from prison. Confinement to problemetic history has finally come to an end. Our being knows a full engagement with life. With release, renewal comes naturally, such as entering deep sleep and waking up with renewed energy. Practice includes exploration of renewal while a transcendent view gives primary interest to release.

    Welcoming the Beyond

    Recorded : October 15, 2023

    What is beyond the ordinary mind? Can thought be background music, not a distraction? How can we access a consciousness that is open, free and limitless? How can we dive into the ocean instead of being tossed by the waves? The Buddha was an unparalleled non-dual teacher who taught the formless as well as form….

    Not Knowing as an Active Practice

    Recorded : April 18, 2021

    We sometimes think of not knowing as something negative, but is it really? Truly not-knowing allows spaciousness, openness, and much greater intimacy. When we make not-knowing an intentional action, the barriers that hold us back from true intimacy begin to dissolve, offering much deeper connection with each other, and with the entire universe.
