Daily Meditation Recordings, with Ulla Koenig – Week of 26 January, 2026
This week’s theme is: The Tender Edge of Awareness: Befriending the Unwanted Within
We all encounter emotions we’d rather not admit to ourselves and others.

Our Dharma Library thrives through collective generosity. Your donation helps sustain this offering for our entire community.
