Do your dharma insights seem to fall apart in the face of romantic connection? Are you wondering what mindfulness means when it comes to sex and intimacy? As a monastic, the Buddha had little to teach on this topic, but as modern practitioners we can engage our practice to deepen our relationships and experience a connected, embodied liberation. Join Justine Dawson this Sunday for a wise and joyful exploration of how to do just that. Begin the journey of unburdening the fear and shame that binds you, and cultivate greater compassion, wisdom and aliveness in your intimate life.

Daily Meditation Recordings, with Nathan Glyde – Week of May 23, 2022

We can learn the resolution that brings us from bewilderment to marvellous release by paying quiet attention to the pattern of the difficulty.
