We offer scholarships on our base membership for those in need (currently discounts of $10 or $20 per month). Our goal is to make meditation and mindfulness practices accessible. You can request a scholarship here.
We also offer an annual membership option that saves 30% on the monthly $49 rate.
Our membership provides you with unlimited access to Mindful Friends Groups, drop in community meditations, Q&A sessions, our community lounge and an extensive library of recorded meditations that you can access at any time.
Our mentorship group add-on includes everything in our membership subscription plus a handpicked small group led by an experienced teacher as a mentor. These groups meet regularly, either weekly or monthly, and are limited to no more than 12 members. These groups are a space to go deeper with your practice within a committed group space.
We offer mentorship groups open to all meditators, and mentorship groups specifically open to women, LGBTQIA+, and POC.
Once logged into our site, go to “My Mentorship Group” page. Here you will see a list of all open mentorship groups. You can learn more about the teacher by clicking on their name and once you find the right fit select “Add it”. Your mentorship group will then appear under the “My Mentorship Group” page.
We use Zoom for our sessions. If you have a working laptop or tablet and an Internet connection fast enough for video calls, that should be all you need!
