This session is an embodied, compassionate exploration through our body-mind-heart into life.
The door is open. What we long for is already there. This practise invites you to undo and deeply rest into the wonder of an receptive presence.
BY LAL DED, TRANSLATED BY JANE HIRSHFIELD:
I was passionate,
filled with longing,
I searched
far and wide.
But the day
that the Truthful One
found me,
I was at home.
We’re grateful to have Miles Kessler leading our Daily Meditation sessions this week. May they support and enrich your practice.
This week’s theme is: Practicing Insight In Daily Life
The practice of mindfulness meditation automatically triggers off a series of developmental insights that gradually develop over time. But how do these “insights” appear in your daily life? In this week of daily meditation practice, Miles Kessler will lead you through an exploration of how the path of insight meditation unfolds on the cushion, but also in your daily life. Join Miles in this week of daily meditations and integrating the “Practicing Insight In Daily Life”.

This week’s theme is: Touching Ground
Whether it is the dynamics of the world that stir our hearts and minds, or personal challenges, as human beings we are confronted in many ways with the fragility of life. Touching ground, finding something to orient and trust in, is a deep need and yet not an easy endeavor. We dedicate this week to exploring the idea of taking refuge and translating it into a meaningful act that we can participate in no matter what.
