Online: Awake Where You Are – The Art of Embodied Awareness Book Launch
with Martin Aylward & James Shaheen
Saturday, November 6th, 2021 | 2:00pm – 3:00pm ET
This event is co-presented by
Tricycle: The Buddhist Review
Please join us for an Online Book Launch and Discussion with author and dharma teacher Martin Aylward, on his new book Awake Where You Are: The Art of Embodied Awareness in dialogue with James Shaheen, the editor-in-chief of Tricycle.
“Embodied awareness is the way back home — intimacy with where and how we are right now, with what is happening and how we are meeting it. This book will lead you into the heart of your life, into your body, where everything happens — with quality of listening rather than knowledge, of feeling rather than reaction. Practicing in this way is radically transformative.” —Martin Aylward
Awake Where You Are provides the antidote, inviting us to go deep into our own bodies, to inhabit our sensory experience carefully; to learn the art of living from the inside out, and in the process to find ease, clarity, and an authentic, unshakeable freedom.
The book is available on the Wisdom Publications website and Amazon
