Much research has shown that meditation is one of the very best ways to cultivate the brain states of self-awareness, calm and inner peace, lovingkindness, mindfulness, and happiness – as well as strengthen the immune system and nurture other health benefits.

Join guest teacher Taylor Rechtschaffen for a live-streamed weekly meditation, talk, and discussion. Taylor Rechtschaffen, LMFT, is a psychotherapist and teacher practicing in the San Francisco Bay Area, integrating Internal Family Systems and Buddhist teachings. She is a certified Feeding Your Demons facilitator and a 25 year practitioner of Buddhist, Vedic, and nature based paths of wisdom. More at: www.openheartpsychotherapy.com

These teachings are offered freely, at no charge. And if you like, you may wish to participate in the age-old tradition of generosity through making an offering yourself – called “dāna” – to support Taylor and the Wednesday Meditations. Generosity itself is a beautiful practice that opens and gladdens the heart, relaxes the contraction of “self,” and ripples out into the world to touch many people – and perhaps, eventually, even oneself.
