Welcoming the Beyond

With Stephen Fulder recorded on February 9, 2020.

Found our teachings useful? Help us continue our work and support your teachers with a donation. Here’s how.

What is beyond the ordinary mind? What is beyond thought? How can we access a consciousness that is open, free and limitless? How can we dive into the ocean instead of being tossed by the waves?

The dharma is in its essence a spiritual journey and the character of the path is to meet, engage with, and then let go of the forms, habits, and functional mind that we are attached to, and explore what opens up for us. In this online event we will guide a meditation, give a talk and offer dialogue, to help us to touch a deeper invisible being, and give us a hint of the beyond.

    Daily Meditation Recordings, with Nirmala Werner – Week of Dec 5 – 9, 2022

    This week’s theme is “Embodied Meditation Practise & the Transformative Power of the 5 Precepts”.

    Many people find themselves from time to time in a spiritual vacuum, trying to fill this emptiness with indulgence through eating, drinking, surfing the internet, shopping, pornography, doing drugs, etc. 

    This week we will look into the 5 precepts, which the Buddha recommended for anyone who wishes to live a peaceful life. The precepts can act as a training guideline, and can support us to stop, pause and look deeply into ourselves to understand, “What is really going on here?” as a fundamental part on our way to universal love, compassion and liberation.

    Climate Code Red

    Recorded : November 7, 2021

    However challenging, we are in these times because we need to be here. We are here to release from what no longer serves and to infuse a new story with clear, wise, conscious intention; a story about building our collective resilience as we rise, with compassion, to save what we can.
