Daily Meditation Recordings, with Nirmala Werner – Week of 24 November, 2025
We are delighted to have Nirmala Werner guiding our Daily Meditation sessions this week. May these sessions support and enrich your practice. This week’s theme is: Embodying the Four (or Five) Elements: Meditation for Everyday Presence. Rooted in Buddhist wisdom, this practice invites us to connect with earth, water, fire, air, and space as living forces within and around us.

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