Hello and welcome to this week’s online weekly newsletter! Let’s take a moment together right now and…
New Series On the Blog
Over the past month, I’ve been sharing a practice called “Come Back To Your Senses” as a series of blog posts. There are several different ways to practice with this. You could choose one sense a day over the course of a week, or you could stay with one sense for an entire week. Let us know how you decide to work with it!
If you haven’t seen it yet, check it out! Share it with friends!

We’d love for you to join us! Monthly online sangha membership is such a beautiful way to support your own and others’ practice, with lots of opportunities to sit together, learn together, and laugh together. Your membership also helps support my teaching activities, which allows me to create even more resources for you.
Meditation Coaching
How is your meditation practice going? What is coming up for you as you practice? What obstacles are you encountering? Where would you like to feel more confident?
Here is a video with more information about meditation coaching and how it can help you learn which mindfulness and awareness techniques can best help you navigate your life, unlock obstacles, and grow in your potential in all areas of your life! You can also book a session here.
Reflection
From the Lojong Slogan, Regard All Dharmas as Dreams, which members of our Online Sangha discussed on Sunday morning.
This coming week see if can notice the dream like appearance of what is arising in your awareness.
As you go about your day…
If you’re celebrating Memorial Day weekend, enjoy and stay safe! Either way, we’re really grateful you’re here!
