The Buddha’s insight that all things arise dependent on something else points to a universe in ongoing relational flow. When experienced directly, we know this flow to be love. Together we will open to receive the many ways we are touched by life through our connections to each other and the Earth, our ancestors and spirit guides, and our own Buddha nature. Through this practice we will experience the deepest message of sangha: that we are not alone. Please bring a pen and paper.

Daily Meditation Recordings, with Ayala Gill – Week of 03 February, 2025
We’re delighted to have Ayala Gill leading our Daily Meditation sessions this week. May they bring depth and joy to your practice.
This week’s theme is: From Suffering To Love
Suffering is a messenger inviting us to include more of this moment with love. Rather than fussing, numbing and fixing, we pause in the midst of reactivity to breathe, come into the body, unhook from stories and feel emotions with love. This allows us to respond to life from love. Suffering returns us to love by showing us what we leave out of its limitless embrace.
