Awaken to Meaning

is a place of practice.

It is a “dojo” for the cultivation of wisdom.

We gather here to engage seriously (and playfully) in an array of practices that are both modern and ancient, such as meditation, contemplation, authentic relating, and dialectic. The effectiveness of these practices is supported by strong research in cognitive science and related fields. They help to “home” us into our bodies, into our relationships, and into reality itself. They give us important skills and tools to take into our everyday lives, and help to relieve persistent feelings of anxiety, alienation, angst, and absurdity.  

We are open to all who desire to begin or deepen their practices, who earnestly attempt to grow in virtue, and who join in good faith!
