Description

The Internet doesn't always make things better! What do you do in the face of 24 hour news media that is just not going to stop? 

Join us for a conversation about how to guard the gates of our senses when it matters in order to stay sane. Inspiring words about the practice of beauty, being rooted in the body and the senses, staying centred in a storm of input and opinion and views. And a practical pathway towards life done differently, steeped in appreciative awareness of the simple, the good and the true, whatever that looks like to you.

Also discussed today:




Fear of Covid-19 is a mental contagion – and that's something we can fight by Ben Okri
Thought for the Day from Dublin
A one-take journey through Russia’s iconic Hermitage museum: the trailer |  the full movie (5+ hours!)




Check out our Dharma Toolkit space for details of all we have on offer to help you make it through the weirdness and stay inspired.

Come meditate with us any week day!
