Ripening in the Sun: Mindfulness and Renewal

with Antonia Sumbundu

7-10 am PDT / 10 am-1 pm EDT / 3-6 pm BST / 4-7 pm CEST

Reconnect with your inner vitality and the quiet wisdom of the heart

In the rhythm of nature, ripening is not rushed.

It happens slowly, quietly, under the warmth of the sun – a patient unfolding from within.

As we step into the fullness of summer, join clinical psychologist and retreat leader Antonia Sumbundu for a Day of Practice where we will gently explore the themes of ripening, ease, and inner nourishment.

Antonio invites us to turn inward – to slow down, rest, and reflect. To pause and dwell in deep presence.

Through guided meditation, silent sitting, and Dharma reflections, we’ll come together to explore what it means to soften, open, and renew ourselves in the richness of the present moment. With an emphasis on receptivity and non-striving, participants will be supported in meeting whatever arises with compassion and awareness.

Whether you’re feeling weary, curious, or simply called to stillness, this day offers space to remember the richness of now – and to return home to your own unfolding. No prior experience is required; all are welcome.

Day of Practice - Antonia Sumbundu - Jul 26, 2025

Join this illuminating session to experience:

  • Deepened capacity to meet the moment with calm and clarity
  • A felt sense of inner renewal through mindfulness and compassion
  • Practical explorations to support spaciousness and presence in daily life

What is Day of Practice?

Sangha Live’s 3-hour, LIVE Day of Practice allows for you to drop in deeper, develop your meditation skills, and reset your intentions through sustained sitting.

Days of Practice includes longer periods of meditation, interspersed with wise teachings, an interactive Q&A with our teacher, and more.

Replay access will be available to all registrants within 48 hours of the live session.

How is Day of Practice different from Sangha Live’s Daily/Sunday classes?

Our shorter Daily Meditation (60 mins) and Sunday Sangha (90 mins) programs emphasize dharma teachings, while our longer Days of Practice (3 hours) emphasize development of meditation practice.

Daily practice is crucial for watering seeds of mindfulness, but extended periods of deep attention such as these, away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, can be uniquely fruitful.

Cost

Day of Practice is offered on a sliding scale basis, with a suggested rate of $35. We wholeheartedly welcome all to practice with us; no one turned away for lack of funds.
