Wishing all of you a wonderful return home after an amazing week. Here’s the view from my window this morning. Will miss you all but hope to see you again soon!

In our sunday gathering, we revisited the timeless teaching of the White Latifa — a profound reminder of the simplicity and depth at the heart of presence. Our minds are often busy creating stories, plans, and identities — constructs that pull us away from the only reality truly available: this moment, right here, right now. The White Latifa teaches us to harness our will not to reinforce these distractions but to gently guide ourselves back to presence with what is, without judgment or resistance. Meditation becomes our anchor, a tool to shift from overthinking to sensing — grounding us in our body’s wisdom and the here-and-now experience. This practice cultivates the strength to face whatever arises, even the uncomfortable and challenging, with openness and curiosity, setting the stage for real self-inquiry and transformation. Our journey isn’t about escaping difficulties but learning to be present with them, to open space inside ourselves for understanding and growth. This presence becomes the fertile ground where wisdom and compassion naturally emerge. Let’s keep this conversation alive, sharing our questions, experiences, and insights as we deepen our practice together.
