Impermanence, grief and healing

Dharma Glimpse by Ali In October last year one of my best friends sadly took her own life. I was devastated and heartbroken and was weighed down with grief. Another close friend sent me these words which I will share with you now. “ When it comes to grief, remember this – You have not […]

Pause

A Dharma Glimpse by Paramita This week I was given an opportunity to pause. My regular schedule gave way to a cascade of conditions which meant that I couldn’t fulfil some of my usual duties. And, the flow of my ongoing therapy sessions came to a grinding halt, as my Internal Famìly Parts decided that

Joy in change

Dharma Glimpse by Maria This week I’ve started my new job. My head has been bursting with all the information on the company and my project, in that respect I’ve been pretty much dropped in the deep from the get go! But even more importantly, I’m now working with the same people I used to
