what is mindfulness?

Mindfulness is a meditation practice that cultivates skillful awareness of our present-moment experience by bringing a clarifying attention to whatever arises through a lens of curiosity, openness, non-judgment, and acceptance. 

Significant studies in neuroscience and psychology have shown the practice to be profoundly beneficial to mental, physical, and emotional well-being.

We bring the insightful teachings and practical skills of mindfulness to organizations, companies, groups, and individuals. Our programs are designed to help people shift perceptions, build community, and promote a deeper sense of well-being—all from the inside out. 

Through courses, workshops, and private consultations, we help people enhance the positive aspects of their working lives, while developing useful tools to help mitigate detrimental ones, like stress, reactivity, isolation, and burnout.  Our goal is simple—offer people an opportunity to approach their lives with greater happiness, vitality, creativity, and connection.

client testimonials

  • I thought Mark was a phenomenal teacher.  I’ve been to dozens of retreats over the years (from day-longs to weekends to 8-days) and Mark was as thoughtful, prepared, present, and engaged as any teacher I've encountered.

    –– Public Interest Attorney

  • Mark strikes a great balance between the aspirational goals of calm/ease, and recognition of the challenges we operate in.  My colleagues and I have learned tangible skills in this course and are very grateful for the generosity and support.

    –– Licensed Clinical Social Worker

  • I really responded well to the ideas of how to integrate these methods into an otherwise busy workday. The quick reset/breathing practice was something I used yesterday in a particularly stressful moment in the office, and it immediately helped calm me down.

    –– Showrunner/Screenwriter

  • I appreciated that you came in having some understanding of the work we do. It was incredibly helpful how you incorporated that into teachings. You were also able to provide a calming safe space during such a chaotic time for us.

    –– Public Interest Attorney

  • Mark made everything relatable and accessible in a way that I never felt inadequate or resistant. The visualizations and analogies were helpful in getting the feel of it all. I also valued how he includes his experiences in the entertainment industry, which made it feel unique.

    –– Founder/Filmmaker, Film Production Company

  • The space you cultivated felt warm, welcoming, and open to all experiences/levels of engagement. I’m very grateful for our sessions.
