Daily Meditation Recordings, with Ulla Koenig – Week of 14 October, 2024

Ulla Koenig

We’re fortunate that Ulla Koenig has generously offered to lead our daily meditation sessions for Europe and the UK.

 

This week’s topic is “Speaking with Wisdom”.

 

Communication is essential for us humans – we create relationships, share stories, remember the past and dream the future through language. Equally, communication can create misunderstandings, fuel conflict and division. In times of deepening polarization we might all benefit from tools which help us to create understanding and support community building. According to the Buddha, one eighth of our practice should be dedicated to such a training of skillful communication. This week we’ll pick up on this invitation and explore perspectives and tools which help us to negotiate needs, boundaries, and views and de-escalate conflict.

  • In Relation to Everything

    Recorded : April 5, 2026

    All of our dharma practice is done in relation to something. We’re essentially always in relation to whatever we’re paying attention to. And, we might say that, in order for our dharma practice to progress, we need to be in good relation to four things: the dharma, ourselves, our meditation object and, in general, to…

    The Radical Heart

    Recorded : May 19, 2019

    It’s hard to find the words that do justice to the enormity of the heartbreak we are in. As we wake up to our new reality, we feel grief, fear, outrage, and a daily kaleidoscope of reactions as we witness the dying of our beautiful planet. Our Dharma practice is for this, to meet reality….

    Luminous Darkness: A Path for Seeing Clearly from the Heart

    Recorded : October 2, 2022

    One of the gifts of global uncertainty is that it requires us to recognize and release unconscious biases that have been passed down for generations. These include the perception that splits into opposites and values light over dark, speed over slowing down, productivity over attunement, and conclusion over not knowing. Awakening requires that we soften…

    Acting on Behalf of Consciousness

    Recorded : January 10, 2021

    As we move into this new year, most of us are ready to leave 2020 behind. So much hardship, for so many, has arisen in the last year. Many of us felt more isolated, more separate, than ever before. As we transition into 2021, rather than live and act on behalf of that felt sense…

    Embodied Wisdom: The Self-Preservation of Activism

    Recorded : July 8, 2017

    Yes, the world is on fire. And, how do we respond to the rage, anger, and fear that can engulf us? How do we utilize these emotions as catalysts that can move us into action that doesn’t burn us up and destroy us? We investigate the Self-Preservation of Activism by feeling into our body wisdom…

    Daily Meditation Recordings, with Zohar Lavie – Week of December 12, 2022

    This week’s topic is “Interwoven and Free”

    The Buddha invited us to investigate our experience moment by moment. One of the key things we uncover as we do this is that separation is an illusion, and that we are deeply interwoven and interconnected with all beings and all things. This week we will disentangle the habitual knots of isolation and ignorance and open to the freedom available as we open our exploration of inter-being.

    Leaning Into Collapse

    Recorded : September 5, 2021

    The fires and floods of this summer, and the ongoing pandemic and its complexities, can weigh heavy on the heart, along with the shocking but unsurprising new IPCC report confirming the ‘inevitable and irreversible’ worsening effects of the climate disruption, ecological collapse and existential emergency we are already living through. This class, led by Sangha…
