Does this sound like you?

✔︎ You’ve tried meditating, but it still feels like something’s missing.

✔︎ You’re drawn to the deeper teachings—but don’t want to wade through jargon or dogma.

✔︎ You’re not looking for a quick fix—you’re ready for something real.

✔︎ You want a path that holds up under pressure, not just when things are calm.

Our Academy brings together students of meditation for a time of renewal, clarity, and deep learning.

This year, the journey takes its full shape: Finding Ground, Becoming Whole.

We begin with what this 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.

And then we go further.

We’ll open the deeper teachings at the heart of this path: natural wisdom — the transformative key to a complete meditation practice.

That’s Becoming Whole.

This is the vision that’s quietly guided Finding Ground from the beginning. I’ve wanted to teach it for years—but I knew we had to practice together first.

After leading twenty retreats, it finally feels like the right time.

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.”

The Summer Academy will delight you if:

The Summer Academy isn’t for you if:

✔︎ You’re looking for a clear, experience-based approach to meditation that deepens over time.

✔︎ You’re willing to show up, practice, and stay engaged—even if it gets uncomfortable or unfamiliar.

✔︎ You know there’s no instant solution to a lifetime’s worth of habits. You recognize that good things take time. And you want to make that time.

✔︎ You want to connect with a practicing community that values honesty, depth, and sustained inner growth.

X You’re looking for someone to validate or translate another tradition you’re already committed to.

X You’re more interested in talking about meditation than practicing it.

X You mainly want a place to process mystical experiences, visions, or dream states.

X You expect immediate breakthroughs without being willing to put in the time and attention this practice requires.
