Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day

Today, we honor and celebrate the rich cultures, histories, contributions, land stewardship, and resilience of Indigenous peoples. We acknowledge that New Mexico, including Taos, and therefore our organization, is established in the unceded homelands of Taos Pueblo and other indigenous tribes. Today, and everyday, let us reflect on the importance of listening, learning, and standing in solidarity with Indigenous peoples in the ongoing work for justice and recognition.

Applications are now open for our Meditation Leader Training Program 2027 cohort, beginning in early 2027! Our program is 100% online with both live and self-paced modules.

We asked graduates what surprised them most about the Meditation Leader Training Program.

“I was surprised by the depth of the practice that I experienced, as well as the variety of different modalities that were incorporated into the week — a lot of different experiences to access deeper aspects of ourselves. The program had a comfortable ease and flow. As opposed to a class curriculum, it was very organic, which was very pleasing to me. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it and how happy the experience made me.” — K.L., Graduate

Today is International Coffee Day. A coffee or tea break is the perfect time to practice mindfulness. For many people, it's a daily (yet brief) activity, which makes it ideal for establishing a daily mindfulness practice. See if you can stay present throughout the process, staying connected to your breath, noticing the sound the water makes as it heats up, the scent of coffee or tea, and the warmth of the cup. And then, enjoy your hot beverage with 100% of your attention. If you're someone who tends to look at a screen or electronic device during your morning coffee or tea, consider committing to one week without doing so. You might be surprised at the impact a daily 10-15 minute mindfulness practice can have over the course of a week!

We are now accepting applications for the 2027 cohort of our Meditation Leader Training Program! 100% online, with both live and self-paced modules.

Val, MLTP graduate says:

“When I think back to how much I ruminated before this program, I wonder how I ever could clearly think and be present with people.

I am actually able to do a good job at leading and holding the space for meditation. At the start of this program, I had some doubts. My heart has greatly opened in this program and it is joy filled to be able to let others in more readily. My capacity to be with people no matter what is going on has greatly expanded.“

"The moment of awakening may be marked by an outburst of laughter. But this is not the laughter of someone who has one the lottery or some kind of victory. It is the laughter of one who, after searching for something for a long time, suddenly finds it in the pocket of their coat."
— Thich Nhat Hanh, as quoted in One Bird, One Stone: 108 Contemporary Zen Stories by Sean Murphy

"Before you realize enlightenment, enlightenment is there. It is not because one attains enlightenment that enlightenment appears. Enlightenment is always there and if you realize this, that is enlightenment." — Shunryu Suzuki Roshi, as quoted in One Bird, One Stone: 108 Contemporary Zen Stories by Sean Murphy
