Zoë Wild learned to meditate in the East, in Burma, where she was a Buddhist nun and lived in a monastery for nearly two years. When she gave up being a nun and returned to the west she was shocked to see how differently meditation was taught here. Instead of finding the peace and tranquility they were seeking, Zoe found that many people were struggling. Western meditation, she says, was causing people to move away from their lives, to reject their experience, to feel superior to others who couldn’t do it “properly” or didn’t adopt a certain lifestyle.

Her solution: a practical, fun course called Wild Meditation, which liberates meditation from the confines of the cushion, and uses playful exploration in the midst of daily life activities to help you discover the peace and wisdom that lives within you no matter what you are doing. Wild Meditation allows you to rest in your center as you express your unique, quirky, authentic self and open to the full range of experience life has to offer.
Zoë Wild joins Sandie Sedgbeer this week to discuss:

~ How meditation underpins the tireless work she does presenting trauma healing workshops, establishing women’s centers, funding students in Turkey, and working towards creating a world where every single person knows their essential, liberated nature and humanity lives in global unity.
~ How you can awaken your life in just four weeks with meditation.
~ And more…
