“If you’re invested in security and certainty, you are on the wrong planet,” teaches Pema Chodron. Yet the Buddha found a way to be grounded and clear in this ever-changing world—and he offered us his path.

Combining mindfulness meditation with mindful writing, we will discover how in the Buddha’s own time following the “right” steps meant living in alignment with our authentic nature.

Each week we will begin with a guided meditation to ground in a state of relaxed presence. Next, we will practice writing mindfully together. Each week teacher Tracy Cochran will provide fresh prompts aimed at helping you remember your own deepest experience—moments of connection and joy and wisdom. We will create a safe space together so that we can listen deeply to our authentic selves. Some may wish to share what they write but there will be no pressure to do so.
