Meditation practice is paradoxical. Yes, we practice, but through practice we remember our fundamental completeness and the relief of letting go of the impulse to fix or improve ourselves. We make room for an awake presence that requires nothing more and nothing less, a presence that has been here all along.There is an intimacy with the innate goodness of being human; a reclaiming of the richness of being alive. We remember how to enjoy and how to love, and we rediscover a deep knowing of how to move through struggle with greater ease. Presence itself becomes the guide of the mind-body-heart operating system.
Our gathering begins with a guided sitting practice (with the option to lie down), supporting participants in cultivating recognition and ease in the present moment. Following the practice, we move into a teaching and open space for questions, group reflection, and dialogue. Join us to take refuge in practice and community.
Trained with the Center for Mindfulness as an MBSR teacher, Adam serves as adjunct faculty at Antioch University, where he teaches mindfulness and compassion-based practices to graduate students. He offers teachings to the public, organizations, schools, and individuals.
Adam leads an online sangha called Rainbow Mind, an eight-week course, multiple residential retreats each year, and one-on-one work. His offerings explore the transformative potential of mindfulness and embodiment-based practices, with a focus on supporting people in cultivating a direct, experiential relationship with loving awareness.
His guidance is gentle, precise, and grounded in years of committed practice across multiple contemplative traditions. Adam is deeply grateful to his teachers, whose wisdom continues to shape his path. His approach is influenced by Vipassana, Thich Nhat Hanh, Advaita Vedanta, and the principles of Hakomi, and is rooted in the belief that each person holds a unique doorway to freedom. The spaces he offers are inclusive, community-centered, and designed to support insight, connection, and meaningful transformation.
