Starting soon!

Do you ever find it difficult to practice everyday? Do you find yourself "doing great" and then your practice falls away? Or maybe you aren't sure where to start or wonder if you are "doing it right".

This 4 week class supports new and old practitioners by expanding what meditation could look like and offering more ways to practice. Starting April 28. Registration link in the comments AND for a discount code. 🤩

Bhante Sujatha is returning to Omaha April 24–27, and we could not be more excited.

If you were with us for his last visit, you already know. Bhante brings a rare blend of wisdom, warmth, humor, and deep presence that stays with you long after the event ends. His teachings are heartfelt, accessible, and often exactly what people did not know they needed.

Throughout the weekend, there will be multiple opportunities to gather, practice, and learn with the Loving-Kindness Monk Whether you join us for one event or several, this is a special chance to experience his unique way of teaching and being.

Funny. Authentic. Grounded. Deeply present.
Bhante’s return is something you don't want to miss.

If you’re longing for a little space to breathe, reflect, and reconnect, we hope you’ll join us for The Sunday Practice.

Practicing in community can be a meaningful way to move through any season or holiday and exactly as you are.

Presence is not only about paying attention to ourselves.

It is how we meet this moment, the people in front of us, and the life we are already living.

When we practice presence, we practice relationship.

Happy Spring Equinox. As the season turns, may we each find a little space to notice what is shifting within and around us with softness, curiosity, and presence.

Join us Sunday as Tracy holds space for reflection on the changing season. We hope you’ll join us. ☺️

The seasons are changing — and our bodies and minds feel it.

Instead of rushing into spring, what if you gave yourself a day to arrive there gently?

Join us March 30 for Comfort Through Renewal, a daylong retreat of meditation, gentle movement, quiet reflection, and time to simply be.

Think of it as a mental health day with intention; a time to pause, breathe, and nourish yourself.

No experience necessary. All are welcome.

🌿 Lunch, tea, and snacks provided.
