Understanding the teachings, learning from my body, and cultivating the heart are core parts of my Dhamma practice. Several years of training as an Anagarika in the Thai Forest monasteries broadened my understanding of the Buddha's teachings and instilled a profound respect for the Buddhist lineage. As a husband and father, I find endless opportunities to deepen my practice through letting go, patience, and humility. All along the way, I've been particularly interested in how other modalities like Nonviolent Communication and somatic approaches to healing can support our growth and deepen the process of awakening.
Nature flows through a cycle of rhythms, but modern life disconnects us from the natural rhythms of our world. When activity (physical or mental) is not balanced with rest, we burn out. Join Oren for an evening of meditation as we learn about what supports and hinders our ability to rest, and how rest can be the hidden key to unlocking your meditation practice.
