Meditation + Mindfulness Resources

Slowing down from years of overworking to prepare for my first cancer-related surgery, I was dropped into a delicious sense of presence. I realized only months later that the level of calm and collected I was feeling (hello, regulated nervous system!) was what people turn to mindfulness and meditation to cultivate. That began my curiosity of and very fast deep dive into meditation. I have done a number of weeklong silent retreats, and continue to explore many lineages and styles.

  • Meditation Apps: Insight Timer

    Insight Timer — Follow me there! My meditations are launching soon. Although there is a paid tier where you can have access to exclusive content and courses, the majority of their library is free to use. A few teachers I enjoy are Selena Lael, Jennifer Piercy, Bhanu Harrison, Sonic Yogi, and Chris Collins.

  • Meditation Apps: Waking Up

    From Dan Harris, the Waking Up app has a more curated selection of teachings than Insight Timer, thereby making it a little less overwhelming. 14 day trial, but a subscription is needed beyond that.

  • Meditation App: UCLA Mindful

    UCLA Mindful — Free, secular meditations and weekly drop-in’s.

  • Tuesday Night Drop-In's with Blake

    One of my favorite teachers, Blake Abramovitz, has a weekly drop-in on Tuesdays from 6-7:15pm PT through Vikara retreat center. He blends poetry and art into his meditation, and he’s an endlessly interesting human!

    My dear friend Chris Carmena hosts a drop-in meditation weekly on Fridays at 7:30am PST. To join, head to his website > Meditations > scroll down to "Meet Chris" and click Join Zoom. So simple!
