POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

🗣️SYDNEY: Join us for Call to Presence | Empty Space

We often rush to fill the silence, fix an uncomfortable feeling, or offer advice before we’ve truly listened.

But what happens when we pause? When we practise being rather than doing, and meet ourselves and others with curiosity, receptivity, and openness?

✨ Call to Presence is an invitation to experience this together, alongside my dear friend and kalyāna-mitta, Bhante Sanathavihari.

An evening of meditation, deep listening, and honest conversation, where we’ll slow down, connect, and explore what becomes possible when we make space for one another.

📅 15 November | 6:45 PM
📍 Anahat Yoga Studio
🚇 2-min walk from Norwest Metro
🚗 Onsite Parking available

🗣️ SYDNEY! Join us THIS SUNDAY, September 13th for Call to Presence 🪷

一期一会 · Ichigo ichie. One time, one meeting.

This gathering is centred around ichigo ichie, a Zen Buddhist principle that every encounter only happens once.

The exact people in the room. The conversations we’ll have. What we’ll each take away from it.

Here’s what the evening will look like:

🧘 A moment to arrive
Guided meditation to slow down and become present to yourself and the people around you.

💬 A chance to meet each other deeply
1:1 conversations with individuals you may have never met otherwise, an opportunity to exchange stories and perspectives.

✍️ A little time to turn inward
Guided journaling and reflection on the theme, and curiosity towards who you are becoming.

🫶 A space to share and listen
An invitation to share authentically, and to listen deeply. If you’re more comfortable observing, simply listening is equally welcome.

💌 A compassionate letter to yourself
At the end of the night, you’ll write a letter to yourself on specialty paper by @loktaastories — to be sent back to you six months later. 🐌 📮

Before we meet, everyone who joins will also receive a little digital care package featuring creations made by the other individuals attending — music, creative projects, offerings.

A little introduction before the actual introduction.

🗓️ 13 September · 7–9pm
📍 Anahat Yoga Centre, Norwest, NSW

I would love to see you there.

Meditation isn’t about escaping yourself.

It’s having the courage to meet yourself exactly as you are.

During meditation we sit with the full spectrum of being human. The joy, the fear, the restlessness, the grief, the tenderness. The parts we’d rather avoid, and the parts we hold onto.

As we start to notice our habitual ways of thinking and reacting, something shifts.

We realise we don’t have to believe every thought or act on every impulse.

With practice, qualities like love, compassion, wisdom and patience begin to grow, not because we force them to, but because we’re creating the conditions for them to emerge.

These qualities show up in the way we speak to the people we love, how we move through conflict, how we meet uncertainty, and how we care for ourselves and others.

That’s why I think meditation is an inherently courageous practice.

What has your practice been teaching you lately? 🪷 by @giannadianthee
