What I love most about the Nova Nidra community is Ayla. I can't imagine many of our 1,000-plus members feel too differently. By whatever means we've arrived here, we find ourselves gathered in this remarkable space, each on our own journey, following the pathway lighting of our luminary as we "walk each other home"—a Ram Dass quote I first learned from Ayla. What I love most about being here is being here. Continually encouraged to show up as we are. Offered a safe haven to be vulnerable. Invited into that sweet spot in the middle: between sleep & wakefulness, between darkness & light, between courage & fright, between playful & profound. That middle place where magic's found With peace in rest, spirits abound Kindred here with Ayla's grace I'm grateful for this sacred space Where I can soften, feel, learn, and connect; where strangers become companions, and companions become friends.💚🙏
