Sunday Sangha: Free Live Dharma Talks & Meditation

Sunday Sangha – 1st March 2026

This session is led by Rashid Hughes.

Start Time: 11 am PST (LA) / 2 pm EST (NY) / 7 pm GMT (London) / 8 pm CET (Paris). 90-minute live session.

This week’s theme: Finding Wholeness & Healing Within Heartbreak

Heartbreak is inevitable, yet reconciliation isn’t always possible. Rashid’s session offers a path toward healing when face-to-face forms of reconciliation fall short or aren’t accessible. Through one of Rashid’s new practices, with guided visualization and contemplative work, participants explore how to tend internal wounds, honor grief, and reclaim wholeness-even without external resolution. Within a loving practice space, you will gain experience with transforming perception through imagination, safely processing difficult emotions while respecting your boundaries and ending cycles of violence rooted in unprocessed heartbreak.

This session is freely-offered, but dana/donations are invited to help us meet our substantial running costs and to support our teachers. To donate, please click here. We appreciate your generosity 🙏
