A Fundamental Part of Our Work
Many of us believe the myth: Soon things will be more settled. We invent and rely on an imaginary future in which everything will feel more stable once we get there. Does this sound familiar?
We often tell ourselves that relief is around the corner, as we confront the realities of endless doing, lists that produce more lists, and a work life that is truly depleting. We are over-caffeinated and undernourished — the low battery alert on our screens mirroring the realities of our inner life, as stress accumulates and even damages the miraculous ecosystem of the human body-heart-mind.
When we set our work down for a time, trusting that this pause is itself a fundamental part of our work, we can discover greater tranquility and resilience within and return to our lives and work with greater energy and vision.
From the mindfulness perspective, we can discover true well-being when we learn to become aware of our moment-to-moment human experience. When we make time for stillness, authentically connect and relate to the fact that we are breathing, and reorient towards the range of our inner experience, we create the conditions for our deeper intelligences to come forth.
Although mindfulness-based practices do not solve our difficulties, a growing body of research suggests that they may empower individuals to respond more resourcefully to life’s challenges. Regular community-based meditation can reduce stress, improve health, and cultivate joy.
Mindfulness is not an intellectual endeavor or something we can master with a quick workshop. If we are curious, it asks for our long-term curiosity, patience, and the willingness to regularly gather in community and temporarily stop being busy. Over time, we receive the gifts and nourishment of these beautiful, ancient teachings. We harness awareness, wisdom, and agency. We discover a deeper level of gratitude. We become empowered to speak and act in accordance with our highest good. We can become an even greater source of safety and support for those we serve.
Community Gathering | 60 or 90 minutes
These sessions foster connection, community, and a powerful sense of individual and collective learning. We take time to authentically be together while exploring a specific facet of awareness, presence, and self-growth. These gatherings include an introduction, guided meditation based on a particular theme, a teaching on that theme, and guided group dialogue and inquiry. We end with time for the whole group to ask questions and share insights.
Session Themes:
Beginner’s Mind in the Service of Vision, Work, and Life
Embodiment: Liberating the Mind Through Awareness of Body
Feelings! Taking in the Joy and Working with the Difficult
Wise Response: Discovering Equanimity in the Midst of Challenge
Expanding the Heart: Cultivating Love in All its Forms
Group Meditation | 30 minutes
Sessions begin with a short introduction followed by a period of formal mindfulness practice (meditation). Attendees will learn to cultivate recognition and ease within the present moment.

Each session ends with a short teaching, group reflection and Q&A.
