Why this series

We talk a lot about relational mindfulness – the ability to notice what’s happening inside you before you react to the people you love. It’s how you stay grounded in your Wise Adult: the calm, clear, caring part of you that can respond instead of react.

Meditation is one of the simplest ways to strengthen that part of you. A regular practice can help you:

  • Pause before you react

    Get a little more space between what you feel and what you do.

  • Stay steadier in hard moments

    Come back to center faster when things get heated, with others or inside yourself.

  • Feel more connected

    Be more present with the people in your life, and less alone in your own head.

What happens in each gathering

You don’t have to arrive calm. Just arrive as you are.

A live, guided meditation on Zoom

One hour, guided in real time by one or more of our teachers. You join in listen-only mode, so you are not on camera.

Nothing to prepare

It is free to join, with no homework. Find somewhere comfortable to sit and set aside the hour.

For newcomers and professionals alike

No experience needed. Therapists and coaches can bring the practice of pausing before reacting into their own work; everyone else is just as welcome.

Practice in good company

Sit alongside a welcoming community from around the world, joining from wherever you are.
