Ever feel like your mind is too busy for meditation? You’re in the right place. Join me, Drea (Drey-ah) Hartwell, for a 6-week foundations course where we stop struggling with our thoughts and start meeting our active minds with kindness.

Whether you are a complete beginner or a seasoned practitioner, come learn to stay rooted as we remember the way home: to our breath, to our bodies, and to the heart of the present moment.

Week 1 — March 25: Arriving Here, Now:

Find your anchor in the steady rhythm of the breath.


Week 2 — April 1: Presence and the Body

Inhabit your body and shift from "head-space" into "heart-space."


Week 3 — April 8: Meeting Our Experience

Learn to observe your active mind with curiosity and kindness.


Week 4 — April 15: Meeting the Inner Landscape

Navigate the storms of life using the compassionate RAIN method.


NO CLASS APRIL 22 — A WEEK FOR HOME PRACTICE


Week 5 — April 29: Befriending the Thinking Mind

Thinking Allowed: Discover a sense of space between the stories we tell ourselves.
