Tending a Garden: Talk
This week, Andrew explores the connection between tending a garden and cultivating the mind. Drawing on the Buddha’s teaching of wise effort, he reflects on how mindfulness, curiosity, energy, and calm work together to create the conditions for growth. Rather than forcing change, the practice becomes one of learning how to care for the mind with balance and intention.
