This week’s topic is “Longing for Belonging; Becoming Intimate with Expansion and Contraction”.

 

Although people are more connected than ever through technology, there seems to be a global trance of “not belonging”. In this week’s sessions we will explore how we separate from our own selves and from others, and above all how we can come home to all our parts and sink back into a sense of belonging.

    Daily Meditation Recordings, with Nathan Glyde – Week of July 18, 2022

Expecting life to be perfect is stressful: a beautiful goal like “getting it right” prevents us from developing when it morphs into “never getting anything wrong.” The non-harming noble-truths path of the Dharma may arouse perfectionism, but if carefully followed, can set us free from such entrapment.

    Trust in the Goodness of your Practice

    Recorded : January 26, 2020
