“I really enjoyed the course. Jeffrey’s teaching is very clear, with important distinctions, and effective methods.”

Rachel Sun

“Thank you for offering these retreats.  They are right up my alley.  After decades of meditating in different traditions I finally feel like I am understanding what I am doing and why.  Jeffrey -- you are explaining the path so clearly.  Looking forward to continuing with you on the journey. Till next time.”

Lori Feilding

““I can't say enough about the retreat and how it has changed things in my meditation. Not to mention, feeling the sense of accomplishment for that many hours of meditation in a couple of days! Wonderful, and as always so well led by Jeffrey and April!.”

Evelyn McKelvie

“Jeffrey and April,  Thank you so much for these retreats!  I have really noticed progress in my meditation practice.  Especially this last weekend!! ”

Roberta Kruegler

“I have been doing my meditation twice a day since the weekend retreat and it has made a big difference. It's only been a couple of days, but I can already feel the difference. I'm much more calm and centered throughout the day, and have more patience and equanimity. It's a game changer, for sure!

Thank you for offering these retreats!”

Renee H.

“The Finding Ground Home Retreat was incredible. Jeffrey's instructions strike just the right balance between clarity and depth. They are simple, but not simplistic - and certainly effective. I so deeply appreciate Jeffrey's teaching, as well as April's support throughout the retreat. Thank you so much for putting it on.”

Finding Ground: Weekend At-Home Retreat

An intelligent modern path

Meditation is a human thing, it belongs to all of us. It’s been part of our human heritage for more than 3000 years.

We’re still the same people we’ve always been, but our world has changed in ways traditional teachings don’t reach. We need a new articulation of the path, a modern approach.

Modern doesn’t mean compromised, it means effective.

Meditation needs a modern path because we are modern people in a modern world.

More than a technique

Meditation is part of a journey. Not the whole thing.

Meditation needs a combination of ongoing learning and community support. Always has.

Meditation is an important part of the journey, but the journey is far more meaningful than the simple practice itself.

Finding Ground supplies the essentials for the journey: knowledge, meditation instruction, and ongoing support.

  • Yes, we have a platform on Circle, the up-and-coming online community platform that isn’t Facebook. This is a big part of our vision for the future of this meditation community.
