Daily Meditation Recordings, with Nathan Glyde – Week of Jan 3, 2022
This week’s topic is: Beginning to See More Possibilities.
The Zen master, Shunryu Suzuki, said: “In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert’s there are few.” With a beginner’s possibilities we can release our heart’s wholesome aspirations.

Daily Meditation Recordings, with Nathan Glyde – Week of 27 January, 2025
We’re grateful to have Nathan Glyde guiding our Daily Meditation sessions this week. May these sessions support and deepen your practice.
This week’s theme is: Time For Life
Dharma teachings invite a profound reduction in stress. When stress is present, there is a sense of time pressure, urgency, and haste. Conversely, when there is freedom and ease, our perception of time expands in countless ways. Dharma practice can be viewed as methods to significantly alter our sense of time, welcoming us into a well-paced connection that makes time for life.
Our Dharma Library thrives through collective generosity. Your donation helps sustain this offering for our entire community.

Daily Meditation Recordings with Christopher Titmuss- Week of February 12, 2024
Why can’t we always overcome fear by being bold? The mind sees fear as feelings, emotions and sensations. Such experiences do not confirm fear.
Experts tell us we cannot live without fear as we need fear to protect us. Dharma teachings remind us we cannot truly live with fear.
