Living with diabetes isn’t just about numbers - it’s about the human carrying them.

Mindfulness doesn’t fix diabetes.
But it can transform how you meet each moment with it.
Less overwhelm.
More clarity.
Better decisions.
Real compassion - for yourself and your body.

At DiabetesSangha, we practice this together every week - free, online, and guided by people who know what it’s like to live with T1D. It’s a space to breathe, to steady yourself, and to remember you’re not doing this alone.

💙 Join us for live weekly meditations
🧘‍♀️ Same time each week, same steady space

Come join us for our second meditation retreat - a weekend created especially for people living with Type 1 diabetes to rest, reconnect, and be held by the T1D community.

From Friday, April 24–Sunday, April 26, 2026, we’ll gather at the serene Gwinwood Retreat Center in Lacey, Washington for three days of meditation, gentle movement, facilitator-led teachings, community circles, shared meals, and spacious time in nature.

The retreat includes guided and silent meditation, yoga/movement, small-group sharing, noble silence on Saturday, and simple, comfortable lodging and meals. Together, we’ll explore heart-centered practices from the four Brahmavihāras - loving-kindness, compassion, appreciative joy, and equanimity - and what they can offer us as people living with diabetes.

✨ Registration is now open. Early-bird pricing is available through December 20.

We would be honored to have you with us for this nourishing and supportive weekend.

We have three beautiful offerings this week, each created to bring grounding, connection, and spaciousness as we enter December. ❄️💙

✨ Empathic Exchange — Tuesday 12/2 @ 8 PM EST
A warm, supportive space to process, share, and be witnessed in community. Come as you are — with whatever you’re carrying — and connect through guided reflection and compassionate listening.

🌕 Snow Moon Meditation — Wednesday 12/3 @ 7 PM EST
A calming evening practice inspired by the stillness of the winter season. Settle into breath, soften the edges of the day, and find clarity beneath the quiet light of the Snow Moon.

🌅 Silent Meditation — Tuesday 12/2 @ 7 AM & Thursday 12/4 @ 10 AM EST

Begin your morning in silence and presence. This gently guided container offers space to breathe, reset, and welcome the day with intention.

Join us this Friday as we welcome back Rachel Zinman for a special Thanksgiving-week meditation, Let Everything Be - a gentle invitation into acceptance and gratitude.

Rooted in the non-dual wisdom of Advaita Vedanta, this session guides you back to the steadiness beneath changing thoughts and emotions. Through simple breath work and soft self-inquiry, Rachel offers a grounded way to pause, settle, and appreciate life exactly as it is - no fixing, no striving.

Especially meaningful for anyone living with diabetes, this practice creates space to reconnect, widen perspective, and soften into gratitude.

Rachel brings 30+ years of experience as a writer, yoga educator, and meditation practitioner, shaped by her own journey with Type 1 diabetes.
