What if?...asking Curious Questions

Easing Awake

for 27 June 2023 Sangha

This Tuesday We Will Be
Hearing from Longtime
Meditator, Teacher, and Sangha Member 
Jens Tröger

       Jen's topic for our Tuesday sangha:

“What If… ? Asking Curious Questions.”

Jens wrote for us:       "Sometimes we get a little stuck or dull or caught up with our practice, and sometimes we don’t even notice. When we do we might feel confused or frustrated or tired, and I found that asking one or the other question can brighten the mind-heart, sprinkle curiosity into the mix, and give our practice a bit of a shift and boost."

        Jens Tröger, international man of mystery, is a code monkey by profession, and a scuba diver by obsession. Happiest with his cameras and backpack, he travels to the most remote places on our planet to photograph the tiny and the beautiful.
       Jens is an experienced software engineer by trade, a book lover, designer and typo-phile after hours. He has designed books for print and e-publishing, but his main interest lies with improving the intelligent book analysis and conversion software available through his Bookalopewebsite.
