Le Trente Sunday Digest - First edition

- Feb 08, 2026

So, I'm going to make the assumption that you're here (or rather that I'm showing up in your inbox) because something about Le Trente - the podcasts, the gatherings - or my work called to you. That's a good start.
​
Today, I'm sharing the first of my new digest. Every Sunday, I'll send you this: what's happening that week, a meditation to pause with (I'm still trying to get everyone to meditate, but I won't be vexed if you don't take me up on it) and a few things worth your attention.

Simple, useful, inspiring (hopefully), and yours to explore as you wish.

On that note, our friend Julia Astok has created a beautiful river meditation that I can't wait for you to discover. Click on this link to receive it, and play the video below to discover the story behind it.
