Offerings
I started this org because I want to help more people meditate, especially organizers, activists, and anyone working towards building a peaceful and more just world. Whether you're a community organizer, a concerned citizen, or just someone curious about meditation, I have an offering for you.
Meditation for Liberation
Free Workshops for Community Organizations and Community Organizers
These workshops are offered free of charge to organizations and organizers engaging in liberatory work. I don't have a specific definition for what that means, I leave that for you to decide.
Leftsit
A Political Sangha
This sangha is open to anyone who is working towards the liberation of all living beings. If you're interested in cultivating a meditation practice and exploring how it can enhance your organizing experience, this community is a great place to start.
Individual Meditation Instruction
Private Instruction
Sliding Scale, up to 4 people
Individual meditation instruction is for people who want to cultivate or deepen a personal practice with the support of a teacher. While it is possible to learn meditation on your own, having a guide who has walked the path before you can make the practice less confusing and more sustainable.
Group Meditation Workshops
Private Instruction
Sliding scale, for workplaces, nonprofits, clubs, households, co-ops, and more
Group Meditation Workshops are for any group of people who want to build a meditation practice in community. Doing so can be incredibly rewarding, regardless of what brings you together.

Meditate
Sit with your hips elevated above your knees (either on a chair, a kneeling bench, or on a firm cushion on the floor). Back and head posture should be tall and strong (not straining), and you should have a soft gaze 4' - 6' in front of you.
Place your attention on a felt sensation of breath.
When thoughts arise and you notice them, gently label them "thinking" and come back to focusing on your breath.
