“Community is the soil and we are the seed.”
When we sit together, we tap into a collective energy that uplifts us while deepening our connection to a consistent personal practice.
We take a curious, non-judgemental look at our own struggles while supporting each other’s ability to see the way through them.
Through facilitation that centers gentleness, curiosity, and respect, I hope participants feel the value of sharing their own insights and challenges.
Though not required for resgistration, donations of any amount are appreciated.

SCHEDULE: 5 Sessions
Dates: TBD
This course offers an introduction to meditation, mindfulness practice, and the benefits of cultivating a personal practice of one’s own.
Each session includes seated practice, basic instruction, and time for open discussion. Our primary focus will be mindfulness meditation with the intention of developing steadiness, resilience, and clarity of mind.
The over arching intention of this course is to offer a supportive and welcoming environment in which each participant, whether newer to practice or more “seasoned,” feels inspired to share their own insights and discoveries.
Therefore, sessions are not recorded.
Instead, we choose to show up LIVE for ourselves and each other. In this way, we tap into a collective energy that supports and inspires each of us to embrace who we already are and how we are feeling may that be restless, bored, tired and the like.
What’s Included:
5 Weekly ZOOM sessions (total of 5 hours)
1- 30 minute ZOOM call to discuss any missed session and/or further support student experiences and/or discoveries about the practice. (Optional)
1 Weekly mini-audio meditation recording (from me!) to support personal practice in-between sessions.
Email communication along the way as needed.
What You Need To Bring:
Yourself. Just as you are.
A comfortable seat
