Free Mindfulness Sessions for a Healthier Fairfield County
Featured Sessions
We are a nonprofit on a mission of delivering accessible mindfulness programs for a healthier Fairfield County. Despite the proven benefits of mindfulness, local under-resourced neighborhoods face barriers to these tools. We're breaking those down those barriers with free in-person and virtual meditation sessions.

Your questions, answered.
-
There are no unsuccessful or bad meditation sessions! That's why it's called a "practice." Sitting quietly is beneficial.
-
You can keep your eyes open during the meditation, or "hooded" (half-open/half-closed), whatever helps you feel safe and relaxed.
-
Arrive just as you are. Most people sit in a chair and chairs are always available. Much of the time we will be still so you may wish to bring a light sweater, but no special clothing is required.
-
Our weekly sessions are free and open to the public. We rely on donations. Our suggested donation is $20 for our in person session and $3 for each dial-in or Zoom. If you’re willing and able, donate here!

Mindfulness isn't a luxury, it can transform lives.
In Fairfield County, access to the scientifically proven tools of mindful meditation isn’t available to everyone. Your support helps bridge the gap—ensuring all people have the ability to take good care of themselves. It’s a simple yet powerful investment in community well-being.
