Is your mind getting weaker? Duller?
More scattered? Mine was.
If I didn’t have this meditation practice, I wouldn’t last in today’s world.
Even though I had been practicing meditation for many years with great teachers, I never took to heart their continual emphasis on building stability.
I had a haphazard approach. I thought meditation was the art of building stability, but I was wrong about that. Meditation is many things, and building stability is a single part of the big picture. Building stability is learned as a separate art, and it brings power and clarity to every other part.
But you have to learn the art of stability. It won’t happen on it’s own!
When my mind wouldn’t cooperate, I tried harder. I focused more. But this had no lasting effect and I wondered if I had something terribly wrong with me. Maybe it was all those years watching television?
It wasn’t that. I simply had not understood that meditation has a methodical approach for building true stability as a bedrock for everything that comes later.
My mind was untamed. I was easily distracted, and the meditation that worked so well for them was not working for me. I was inspired, but my concentration was fragile.
What was I doing wrong?
what was I missing?
A Workshop that builds meditation step by step, shows you where to apply the instructions through learning, surrounded by students of meditation for a time of renewal, clarity, and building stability.
This workshop is the journey of meditation in its full shape: Finding Ground, The Art of Stability.
We begin with what the path has always emphasized—learning to build a life that truly supports deep meditation, even in the midst of modern distraction, aging, responsibility, and uncertainty.
That’s Finding Ground.
But, we go further.
We dive deeper into the nine stages teachings at the heart of building mindfulness: shamatha — the transformative strength to a meditation practice.
That’s The Art of Stability.
This is the vision that’s quietly guided the Finding Ground Meditation system from the beginning. I’ve been developing and teaching it for years—but I knew we had to grow our community together first.
After leading countless retreats for two and a half years, it’s the right time to guide students through the stages of stability..
This offering is open to everyone—whether you’re just arriving or you’ve been with us from the start.
“Learning to meditate with Jeffrey and April is like learning to swim from muddy into clear water... Jeffrey and April’s essential instruction is a life-saving raft in the ocean of life : Let Go and relax!”

“Wow, these were so helpful and supportive. No one really talks very openly about what it actually feels like to awaken. It’s so easy to misinterpret the experience. Thanks so much for this. The Finding Ground teachings were just what I was looking for.”

“ You give the inner meaning of the teachings (on mindfulness and awareness) and show us how they’re totally relevant to our actual practice of meditation.”
