Daily Meditation Recordings, with Sophie Boyer – Week of 28 April, 2025

Sophie Boyer

Sophie Boyer

We’re delighted to have Sophie Boyer guiding our Daily Meditation sessions this week. May they bring peace and depth to your practice.

 

This week’s theme is: Groundedness to Groundlessness

 

Grounding oneself in this very moment to realise that what we are looking for has never left us. It has always been here and is not bound to anything. It is an invitation to let life inform every moment without a “me” being in charge – a groundless home.
Sophie Boyer will lead our Daily Meditations this week, inviting us to engage with this paradoxical dynamic.

    Not Knowing is Most Intimate

    Recorded : November 19, 2023

    The Buddha spoke often about the danger of clinging to views and opinions.

Our exploration will draw from the…

    This week’s theme is “Comfort and Discomfort”. Comfort and discomfort can show up in practice, as well as in life. In what ways are they interwoven? What assumptions do we make about them that might hold us back from fully engaging? We’ll explore these ideas through meditation and contemplation, to see what can be learned – and liberated – in support of living and practising more freely and fully.
