Meditation Day: Breathwork + Foundations

Note: This event is being shared via multiple channels. As of April 10th there are 26 registred participants. We have space for 50 in total.
Austin's largest meditation community — 900+ members, 4.9 stars. A same-day meditation experience: start with a free meetup. If it clicks, stay for breathwork and a full-day retreat.

You don't need to commit to a full retreat to go deeper.

Just come to the meetup. If it clicks, stay for the retreat.

Most people want to meditate more. They just don't have the space to actually sit. This is that space.

WHAT THIS IS

A same-day meditation experience that starts with a free meetup and continues into an optional retreat. Show up for the part that fits you.

• The Meetup (First 2 Hours) — show up, learn to meditate, practice, meet people. Free and open to everyone.

• The Retreat (Rest of the Day) — stay after the meetup for breathwork, deeper instruction, and extended practice.

No need to decide in advance. Come to the meetup. If you want to go deeper, just stay.

HOW THE DAY WORKS

THE MEETUP — First 2 Hours (Open to Everyone)

This is where the day starts. Everyone is welcome.

• Light arrival and connection

• Basic introduction to meditation

• Guided practice

• Networking and community

No experience needed. You'll leave feeling grounded — and if you're feeling it, the retreat picks up right after.

THE RETREAT — Continues Right After the Meetup

This is where things go deeper. After the meetup, the retreat picks up right where you left off — starting with a guided breathwork session that most people say is the highlight of the day.

Hour 1 — Breathwork

• Guided breathwork session to settle in and go deeper

• No experience needed — you'll be guided the whole way

• This resets your system and transitions you into sustained practice

Hour 2 — Foundations of Meditation

• Clear, simple instruction on the fundamentals

• What meditation actually is and how to do it

• Common obstacles and how to work with them

Extended Practice

• Alternating sitting and walking meditation

• Longer periods of quiet practice

• Light guidance to stabilize attention

• Q&A and integration

WHO THIS IS FOR

• You've been meaning to meditate more consistently

• You want a simple way to get started

• You're curious what a longer meditation day feels like

• Or you just want a calm space to reset

You don't need to be good at meditation. You just need to show up.
