This moment right here is the path.
Meditation allows us to become more familiar with our lives. By resting our attention in the embodied moment, we come to appreciate how things are for us. These dishes. This meeting. That reaction. As our capacity to be present with all of it deepens, we begin to touch the path that is our lives.
This is the heart of what meditation has offered me through the years: a growing awareness that this moment, whatever it may be, is my true path in life. This here-ness is my most reliable teacher and guide. Through the practice, I am called back to nothing more, nothing less than this.
Knowing how much this work has enriched my own life over the past several decades, I look forward to sharing the teachings and practices of embodied meditation with you in yours. Whatever your background or level of experience, you will find a range of opportunities and resources here – all intended to encourage and empower as you welcome and explore this moment right here, this path that is yours to live.
I hope you are inspired to join me,

Part Of This World
Weather around these parts has shifted. While most days still get hot – or, at the very least, warm – there’s a coolness in the air that communicates quite clearly: things are changing. It’s tempting to tumble into some sort of narrative about this. ‘Summer’s hard on me,’ for instance, ‘I can’t wait for fall!’
Why Now?
One could – quite justifiably, I believe – look at this world of which we are part and feel concern. Polarization and conflict, political, economic, and environmental instability, aggression, uncertainty, and fear are all prominent aspects of our present landscape, never mind some of the more specific difficulties that might be pointed to.
