Notebook 2_edited.png

Dear friends,

 

September 12th is World Mindfulness Day and a perfect opportunity for all of us to reflect on how we can incorporate more mindful elements into our lives.

At OPO, one of our core intentions is to contribute to a more mindful and compassionate world. We created our app to help you cultivate mindfulness for yourself and the world that you live in you. Mindfulness can be found not only in expansive moments but also in the simplicity of everyday life—there's magic in the mundane.

Today, we also honour Thich Nhat Hanh, the noted founder of the modern mindfulness movement, who passed away in 2022. He left behind a profound legacy of modern meditation and self-awareness for generations to come. In challenging times, as we often face today, we encourage you to find a good seat, listen to one of our sound baths and explore one of Thay’s many remarkable works.

Wishing you well,

Chris. Elliot and the OPO team

COMMUNITY

THICH NHAT HANH

Thich Nhat Hanh - 'Thay' - was an inspiration for all of us and we like to think a founding member of our community! In 2017 he sat with Melvin McLeod to talk all things 'Love and Liberation'. Read the interview here.

And we recommend taking time to watch 'Walk With Me', a cinematic and immersive exploration into the life of Thich Nhat Hanh by our friends Marc Francis & Max Pugh, narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch.

KOTO CABINS

Having lived on the shores of the Norwegian fjords, Johnathon and Zoe were deeply impacted by the aesthetic and raw environment. Theo, having lived in Ireland for many years spent much of this time taking in the natural lines of the dramatic Irish coastline. Together they created Koto, an award-winning architectural firm, where sustainable materials, nature and design come together to create spaces for reflection and connection.

True zen…quietude and designed for perfect retreat living. Be inspired, like us, by their beautiful creations on Instagram, and explore more on their website.
