The Art of Being Human is to live life in all its aspects, yet with awareness.
About The Drunken Monk ®
The Drunken Monk Conscious living is a supportive environment with practical tools to accompany you on your journey to explore your natural essence. It aims to bring a synthesis of consciousness and spirituality into the routine of your daily life.
The title derives from an ancient martial arts style called “The Drunken Monkey” where movements of the practitioner are very relaxed and appear humorous, almost as if he was drunk – yet he is perfectly aware of each movement and rooted in the Present Moment. The Drunken Monk is about being spiritual, self aware and grounded yet with laughter, authenticity and an acceptance of our human nature in all its aspects.
Much like the fertile soil nurtures a flower growing from a seed… in this attentively cultivated environment you can grow and blossom according to your own nature.
Guided meditation
During the day, taking a few minutes to sit and meditate will carry you into the precious space within, where you find clarity, energy and relaxation that is both empowering and expansive. You are invited to listen to our guided meditation recordings or join meditation sessions live.
