In an ever-changing and unpredictable world, it is so easy to get swept up in the chaos and anxiety that come with it. This week, the incredible Manoj Dias talks us through how we can find pause, compassion and solitude through mindfulness and meditation. We discuss what is involved in a meditation practice, how it informs how we show up in the world, and what happens when we allow our minds to be calm. Manoj is the co-founder of Open, a modern meditation studio based in California and EVRYMAN, a men's emotional intelligence movement. Whether he’s teaching through words or the silence between them, Manoj’s great love for Buddhist wisdom and contemporary science is present in every encounter.

Discover:

• The three jewels of liberation
• The healing power of community
• "If you don't have 10 minutes to mediate you need 2 hours"
• How mediation helps us see clearly, stay calm, and hold space
• Mediation and reactivity
• Why are we afraid to be present and just be?
• What 10 days of meditation can do to your life
