The Art of Deep Listening

with Martin Aylward

8-11 am PDT / 11 am-2 pm EDT / 3-6 pm GMT / 4-7 pm CET

How do you listen deeply to life?

Meditation itself – and the whole meditative approach to a contemplative life – could be described as a kind of deep listening. Not merely listening with your ears, but with your whole being.

A deepening meditative practice is a kind of apprenticeship in how to listen – to the fundamental awareness, and intelligence and interdependence that knits all of life together.

When we learn to listen deeply, we open to life itself. We discover what matters. We find our way through confusion. We touch into the wisdom that is always present, waiting to be heard.

This Day of Practice with Martin Aylward will be an exploration of, and a guide to, such deep listening.

Join Sangha Live’s founding and guiding teacher for a day of shared practice in the art of listening for wisdom and listening to love.

Day of Practice - Martin Aylward - Mar 21, 2026

Navigating experience together, we will explore:

  • What to attune to, and how
  • Broad and narrow fields of attention
  • Receptivity and kindness as the roots of wise attention

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.
