"We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand –and melting like a snowflake."

β€” Francis Bacon

For any of us to achieve a degree of wellness as individuals and as a society, we must look after not only our physical bodies but also our mind, our community and interconnectivity with the ecological welfare of the planet.

Mindful awareness lies at the heart of how we respond to every situation and interact with our perplexing world. When these simple elements are applied and become embedded in our everyday life, we are taken on a journey toward deeper states of attention, resilience, intentionality and connection: connection with ourselves, community and our planet.

The fundamentals of Mindfulness meditation are simple to learn and apply to every aspect of your life.

Our modern interpretation of health falls primarily into physical and nutritional conceptions of wellness. Overlooked are broader dimensions of mindfulness practice vital to the experience and integration of genuine wellbeing. Awareness practices illuminate daily life. This is an invitation to dive deeper together.

Meditation is not only a method of calming and relaxing an anxious mind. It is a tool to train your capacity for being more present, engaged and attentive to life. When attention is impaired it detracts from everything we do, and when it is intentional, it enhances everything we do. A kind heart and focused mind are fertile ground for fresh insights and new seeds to sprout. We need that in our world today.
