Day of Practice

Saturday, January 11th

Wide Awake!

with Martin Aylward

7-10 am PST / 10 am-1 pm EST / 3-6 pm GMT / 4-7 pm CET

If you are reading this, you are AWAKE!

Wakefulness is the fundamental expression of consciousness, and the essential nature of being human.

Yet this wakefulness is easily lost, forgotten, overlooked and obscured.

So for this first Day of Practice of the new year, we will come together in support of this Awakeness, which we call Buddha!

We will have time to practice together, to point to the essentially awake nature of mind, and to explore ways of recognising, remembering and resting in this awakeness.

Come and join Sangha Live’s founding and guiding teacher Martin Aylward, and a worldwide sangha of dharma friends, to start the new year right.

Day of Practice - Martin Aylward - Jan 11, 2025

With Martin as our guide, we will:

  • Explore how to recognize and reconnect with our innate awakeness
  • Learn practical ways to remember and return to this state, even in the midst of life’s challenges
  • Cultivate a foundation of presence and awareness to guide us into the new year

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.
