Found our teachings useful? Help us continue our work and support your teachers with a donation. Here’s how.

In times of global challenges and uncertainty, we often respond with fear-driven action, guilt, or survival mode. Yet the simple act of resting offers a powerful path to liberation. By connecting with our bodies and trusting the ground beneath us, we cultivate ease that naturally supports the awakened mind.

When we act from deep rest, compassion, and inner freedom, we engage with life’s complexities more sustainably. Join us to explore what prevents deep rest and discover supportive practices for daily life. Together, we’ll practice embodied rest and share what helps us release inner struggle.
