Nurturing Friend

In this 30-minute guided session with a Buddhist monastic teacher, we practice mindfulness meditation together — learning to bring clear, steady attention to your breath and present moment experience.
This session is for anyone curious about meditation, whether you're new to practice or returning after time away. We'll practice grounding techniques that help you cultivate presence amidst the noise and demands of daily life. You'll learn how to use your breath as an anchor, noticing your thoughts and feelings without judgment, and discovering what it means to be truly present with yourself.
No experience needed. We begin and end together, practicing alongside one another in a space where your presence is enough.
