Join Our Monthly Open Meditation The world is presented to us so loudly that we are constantly drawn away from the depth of our own life. This monthly space of love and practice is a place to come back. We sit together in stillness and awareness, and relearn the quiet heart that never deserts us.

Let us sit together in the light and profound beauty of life itself. In the heart within the heart.

A glorious sunlit morning and the postman brings the summer issue of The Author magazine. Where yours truly discusses both the beautiful & yet oftentimes difficult aspects of the writer’s life, and we gently suggest a meditation practice that can really support our creative and ordinary lives.

In challenging times, choosing to meditate and live with presence, love, and genuine connection is perhaps the sanest, most courageous act available to us. Community deepens our practice—when we come together, we create a circle of belonging, lighting a gentle path home for each other.
