BREATHE

Where breath goes, mind follows. We start each sit with 15 minutes of intentional breathing. To arrive, to center, to reset our nervous systems.

We practice different breathing techniques from ancient yogic traditions. It won’t always feel comfortable, but that’s how you’ll know it’s working. Breathing consciously primes us to go deeper into a meditative state.

Each technique gets explained in detail so you’ll know exactly what to do. When appropriate, modifications are offered to serve different preferences and personal needs.

Our human experience today is more disembodied, fragmented, and overloaded than ever before. We’re always on, forever on-the-go, rarely still. Meditation is a refuge from all that. It’s an opportunity to simply be. Nowhere to go. Nothing to do. For about 30 minutes. A moment unto itself.

Every week we explore a different aspect of mindful awareness. Rooted in ancient wisdom, inspired by philosophy, poetry, or life itself.

More clarity and alignment emerges from stillness, concentration, and allowing things to unfold.

COMMUNE

There’s something extra special about meditating in community. The energy created together pulls us deeper into a meditative state. We all walk away with more than we came with.

We close every sit with a few minutes of Q&A and sharing. This is a space for judgment-free witnessing. We hold space for one another. We walk each other home.
