Here is a little snippet ~

Last month at Ourano, our Silent Meditation class was held, a safe space for students to explore the depths of their meditation practice.

There is nothing quite like experiencing the teachings and wisdom that silence shares. Placing ourselves in somewhat voluntary discomfort with our restless minds, tired bodies, fluctuating emotions, itches, rumbling bellies, and of course… boredom. When observed more deeply, each of these experiences becomes a sacred teacher.

When I shared with people at the studio that this class was going to be held, there were many gasps:

“What???, Oh my gosh, there is no way I could sit still for that long!”

“That sounds awful, what on earth would you do that for?”

“Savasana is hard enough!”

I chuckled to myself at the mixed reactions, which are also not surprising……..

Gratitude flowing to all who gathered for our silent meditation practice today at Ourano.

Thank you for your openness and willingness to explore the depths of your being. As I often share, meditation is not so much about clearing the mind as it is about learning to sit with yourself through the ups, the downs, and the spaces in between.

Sitting in silence is one of the most challenging practices, yet nothing reveals wisdom more profoundly than silence itself.

I am happy to announce that these classes will continue semi-regularly at the studio for students wishing to deepen the foundations of their meditation practice. New dates will be shared soon.

:::: NEW EVENT ::::

Join Ourania on the 17th of August for this meditation practice, welcoming stillness and silence.

This fully seated class will offer a quiet space to be in uninterrupted meditation with others.

Designed for those with an established meditation practice, the session will be held in complete silence without verbal guidance or instruction.

Meditating in silence together weaves an unseen thread of presence and support, holding you deeper within the practice.

Please note: This class is not suitable for beginners and is intended for students who are confident meditating without guidance.

*****For those of you who came to the previous Japa meditation event, this is the next step to which it is encouraged that if you join, to bring your Mala beads.

For more information or to book, head to the Events page of our website. Only a few spots left!

From yesterday 🍃

Forever in awe of the way tea reaches people. It was a deeply sacred energy in yesterday’s ceremony.

Sitting in complete respect for ourselves, each other and the elements that make us who we are….earth, air, fire and water.

To all those who joined, thank you for your presence.

Our monthly letter has just landed in your inbox! Here is a little snippet -

When you read or hear the word empty, how does it make you feel?

Through conversations with students about this, many mixed feelings were presented. People associated it with the feeling of space, others associated it with fear and loss.

Me, personally, I feel like I can deepen my breath.

In one of the meditation classes, I shared the analogy of the empty vessel - Lao Tzu writes in the Tao Te Ching that the value of a vessel is not in the clay or the shape that it forms but rather the empty space it offers to be filled.

Without space in your heart, how can love enter?

An afternoon in ceremony at Ourano Yoga Life 🍃

Thank you to all that joined me today. 

We shared in a stillness that was gently held by the depth of our silence.

Moonlight White tea from was served. A tea that has the subtlety and sweetness of dew. So beautiful…..

I closed with these words, which I felt encapsulated the energy of the entire ceremony today.

“The beauty of nature insists on taking its time. Everything is prepared. Nothing is rushed. The rhythm of emergence is a gradual slow beat always inching its way forward.” John O’ Donohue

Raising a bowl to you,
