Welcome to Tricycle Meditation Month, our annual challenge to commit to a daily practice. Whether you’re new to meditating or a longtime practitioner, our free 31-day challenge is a great way to kickstart your practice and set aside more time for calm and clarity in your life. We’ll be supporting you along the way with an array of meditations, tips, inspiration, and resources. The challenge begins January 1, 2026, but you can join at any time to start from day 1 after that date.

This year’s theme is about realizing our true nature through Zen koan meditation. Our nature is boundless, luminous, and nondual. It already contains all the qualities we long for including freedom, happiness, abundance, love, and creativity. Although we have never been apart from the destination of our seeking, we imagine that we must leave our true home and strive endlessly. In this way, we overlook what is already here and picture awakening as something extraordinary, far removed from what is.

Each week we will sit with a new koan to bring the restless mind to rest and help us rediscover our inherent true nature. As this becomes clear, we see that the prison we once believed in was made only of our thoughts, and that the door has been open all along.
