Relaxing into Being: Grounded in the Depth of Presence

with Leela Sarti

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

What would it feel like to stop reaching, and simply rest into what is?

Ah, to be grounded in the depth of timeless presence in daily life – amidst the changing sands of experience.

In cultivating a quality of restful wakefulness that embraces each moment with acceptance, heart, and wisdom, we can make intimate contact with our inner being, the natural world, and the very nature of things.

Leela Sarti calls this coming back to deep ground. Not a state to attain, but a quality of awakeness that can hold every facet of experience – the ordinary and the difficult, the joyful and the uncertain – with care. From this ground, something steadies. We can be ourselves in peace with others, and still do what needs to be done.

In this Day of Practice with Leela, we’ll come together to inquire into how to live a life of deep ground. With a spirit of kindness, we’ll engage in meditative practices that support realignment, embodiment, and a sense of inner guidance.

This practice of sacred attention, of embodied awareness and presence, leads us to the mysterious ground of our nature.

Day of Practice - Leela Sarti - Apr 18, 2026

The day will weave a supportive tapestry of teaching, meditation in stillness and movement, dialogue, and deepening inquiry in smaller groups, exploring:

  • What deep ground actually feels like in the body – why it matters, and how to return to it
  • How to shift from doing, controlling and running after – to simply being
  • Embodied, kind presence as a path to feeling at home in yourself and in the world
  • How to live from this ground: in relationship, in action, in everyday 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.
