Welcome! Nine Lives Meditation is dedicated to bringing peacefulness and healing into our turbulent world through compassion-based, weekly guided meditations in a community environment as well as offering other mindfulness practices and classes.

I believe mindfulness meditation opens a portal away from the exterior noise of the world outside into a threshold that invites you into the beauty of inner spaciousness of mind. Presence with whatever is at each moment becomes familiar and friendly as we allow ourselves to accept what thoughts arise and pass away while removing all judgment towards ourselves and others. This allows space for stillness, insights and revelation.  You gradually learn to hold more calmness that you carry into your daily lives. This is a transformative experience for many when taught correctly and it is my privilege to be able to offer it for those looking for activist yet pacifist approaches to the collective overwhelm of today’s world. This is a time where injustices challenge us all yet we can find ways to meet this with developing equanimity and strength.

Whether you attend my online meditation offered weekly or prefer a private one-on-one session with me, this is an all inclusive space that offers shelter and a welcome acceptance to all that makes up this extraordinary world. 

I am in the last months of the internationally renowned two year Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certificate Program taught by Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield; I will be graduating in January, 2027. Visiting teachers in the program have included Sharon Salzberg, Kazu Haga, Frank Oskaseski, Gabor Maté.
