Mindfulness Practice Group On Pause
Taking a Break While I Change My Habitat
Hi Everyone - While I move and settle in to a new location I’ll be pausing the Monday night class at Yoga Kula which has hosted the class since 2024. Thank you Yoga Kula for hosting me! And thanks to everyone who showed up and practiced with sincerity and heart over the last two years. I am deeply honored that you joined me. I will keep you updated on details of a new class location and time when we can practice together again. Hopefully soon.
In the meantime, here’s a recent meditation on patience. The talk on patience is here, and soon there will be blogposts on patience, facing difficulties in practice, and peacemaking in warlike times.
I am looking forward to reconnecting with you soon in person or online. Kind regards and blessings to you.

About the Class: The focus of this drop-in class is cultivating presence, awareness and awakening in daily life through practical and relatable teachings. Through the gentle persistence of regular meditation practice, guided inquiry, and open-heartedness, wisdom can arise in even the most ordinary of moments. By deepening our connection to ourselves through meditation and mindful awareness, we cultivate mental and physical wellness in our lives. The session consists of a 30-minute teacher-led meditation, followed by a short talk on a relevant topic, and then a group discussion. People of all races and ethnicities, sexual orientations and gender identities are welcome.
