Transformative Presence

A School-Year Course in Meditation & Mindfulness

Wednesdays, 8:30–10:00 a.m. · End of September – May

Transform your day from the inside out. Transformative Presence is a steady, school-year journey where consistent practice becomes real change. Meeting weekly, we’ll use Rudolf Steiner’s anthroposophical meditations alongside Tibetan Buddhist and classical yogic techniques to gently retrain the mind, soften reactivity, and replace unhelpful habits with wiser ones.

What you’ll experience

  • A reliable rhythm: one dedicated practice space each week to anchor your growth across the school year.

  • Clear instruction + guided practice: short teachings, step-by-step guidance, and time to sit together.

  • Skillful methods that work together: breath and posture, mantra and visualization, heart practices, and simple daily micro-practices.

  • Real-life integration: how to meet stress, relationships, parenting, and work with steadiness and warmth.

  • Supportive community: practice with others who value presence, compassion, and inner clarity.

You’ll learn to

  • Build a consistent meditation habit (even on busy days).

  • Calm and focus the mind (shamatha) and recognize spacious awareness.

  • Interrupt negative loops and cultivate healthy patterns of thought, speech, and action.

  • Bring mindfulness into movement, breath, and everyday tasks.

  • Nurture kindness, resilience, and insight—on and off the cushion.

Who this is for

Parents, educators, caregivers, and anyone ready to practice regularly and grow in wisdom and compassion. All levels welcome.
