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 Melli O’Brien for a live-streamed weekly meditation, talk, and discussion. Melli O’Brien is a mindfulness teacher, best-selling author and co-founder of Mindfulness.com. Her work has helped millions of people globally. In 2025, she was named one of the most powerful women in the mindfulness movement by Mindful magazine.

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 Melli and Rick 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.
