Join us for a sensational evening of self-compassion practices

Embark on a transformative journey with 'Home Safe & Sound', an evening dedicated to self-discovery and inner peace, combining the gentle art of Yin Yoga and the healing power of sound meditation. Begin with Lisa's 'Yin Sanctuary', a nurturing yoga session that guides you through deep, introspective poses, opening your body and heart to self-love and acceptance. This practice, suitable for all levels, invites you to embrace tranquility and reconnect with your innermost self in a serene and supportive environment.

Transition into a state of serene introspection with an opening meditation led by Kate, whose calming presence prepares you for the profound sound bath experience. Be enveloped by the resonant rhythms and tones of Santa Fe Opera percussionist, Dave Tolen. His mastery in sound creates a therapeutic landscape where vibrations are not just heard, but deeply felt, facilitating stress release and emotional healing, resonating with the deepest parts of your soul.

The evening concludes with a closing meditation by Kate, integrating the experiences of Yin yoga and sound bath, ensuring that their soothing effects settle deep within your psyche. This final meditation leaves you rejuvenated, balanced, and deeply connected to your inner sanctuary. Join us for 'Home Safe & Sound' to rediscover the peace and love within, and experience the profound joy of coming home to yourself.

Wild Mind Adventure Club is getting back together!

Everybody is welcome. This club is for beginner to seasoned meditators.

We will be camping out at Dirty Laundry Hot Yoga! A brand new hot yoga studio in Santa Fe.

Join me every Friday from 10 am-11 am

A mindfulness meditation hour for those looking to practice consistently with friends. Each Month we dive into a topic that supports our mindfulness with practice, research, movement, poetry, and inspiration.

This is an IN-PERSON class only. YAY! I’ve missed you!

Due to Covid-19, Mt. Cloud Zen Center is closed. Family Sangha is postponed until further notice.

Santa Fe Vipassana Sangha presents mindfulness for the whole family!

Practicing mindfulness in community (sangha) helps to reduce stress and reset our intentions. Kids (generally ages 4-12)  join seasoned teachers in a separate space to enjoy learning about mindfulness through friendly activities such as snacking, moving, and crafting. At the same time, parents fine tune their imperfect meditation practices, commiserate on their imperfect parenting, and enjoy quality down time aimed at helping us recover our true inspiration and compassionate relationship skills. 

Please note that "parents" and "family" are defined in the broadest terms, anybody who is, or ever has been, in any kind of a care-taking relationship is invited to participate! You do not have to bring kids to join in the adult practice.

Donations (Dana) gladly accepted.

No prior registration required. Please send an email to hello@familysangha.org to be added to the monthly online Paperless Post invitation list.

No experience necessary, everybody is welcome! 

Due to SFCYC closing, WMAC is postponed until further notice.

Join the club! We meet every Tuesday morning.

Perhaps the wildest adventures are not found down rivers or up mountains, but traveling right inside our own minds.  Consistent meditation practice creates a map to help navigate the joys and challenges of being human.   Join the Wild Mind Adventure Club every week to explore the crossroads of mindfulness, psychology, neuroscience and spirituality.   Touring this mental territory together will provide direction and inspiration in a friendly learning environment. Each session will increase your skills of focused attention, curiosity, patience, and compassion. Kate Reynolds (LPCC) will guide folks to find their way through the wild and wonderful landscape of their own unique mind. Santa Fe Community Yoga Center's Moon Studio will be our base-camp.  The practices will be suitable for all levels of experience, everyone can join the club!

Formal silent meditation practice, offered in community.

The intention for SOS is to make space and to offer support for everyone wanting to practice meditation. We aim to provide silence, simplicity, and community. As students arrive there will be time for self-directed stretching, letting go of tension, and preparing for a formal meditation practice. We will practice formal meditation for 30 minutes. During this period, students are invited to engage in their own personal meditation practice, no guidance or spoken directions will be given. Yoga mats, blankets, bolsters, blocks, and chairs are available for your use. You may also bring your own cushions. Sitting or lying down postures are invited. Following the meditation, there will be an optional period of time to ask questions and share observations about the practice with instructor, Kate Reynolds. Students wishing to maintain the spirit of silence do not have to stay for this discussion.

Whether you are an athlete, business professional, or simply want to participate in a program that brings together the latest neuroscience and mindfulness training to enable you to be at your best, please join us by registering for the mPEAK program.

mPEAK is an 8-week course in mindfulness training for those who seek to draw upon this proven practice to achieve their goals, both personal and professional, as well as attain new levels of performance and success. This cutting-edge training program is built around the latest brain research related to peak performance, resilience, focus, and “flow”. The mPEAK program enhances the human capacity of mindfulness through established and empirically supported practices and exercises, tailored to fit the needs and desires of the team, organization or individual. Mindfulness is effective precisely because it is a way of being and relating to all aspects of life, rather than a specific technique or tool for a particular goal. As with physical training, this brain training program is based upon the understanding that optimal outcomes occur most often when participants continue to engage in the practices and exercises on a daily basis as a part of their training regimen. The foundation of this program is drawn from the highly respected and empirically-supported Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program. Additionally, the program incorporates specific practices and exercises formulated to correspond to recent neuroscientific findings, competitive advances, and related research regarding optimal performance.

Cost: $250.00

This course is sold out. 

Stay tuned for the Winter 2019 Registration 

The Santa Fe Center for Mindfulness is happy to co-host William Powers, author of the "green living" bestseller Twelve by Twelve and New Slow City, will read from his new book, Dispatches from the Sweet Life, followed by a discussion and  book signing at Collected Works Bookstore.

Dispatches from the Sweet Life: One Family, Five Acres, and A Community's Quest to Reinvent the World (September, 2018)

 Many people fantasize about dramatically changing their lives — living in accordance with their ideals rather than the exigencies of job, bills, and possessions. William Powers actually does it. In his first book, Twelve by Twelve, Powers lived in an off-grid tiny house in rural North Carolina. In New Slow City, he and his wife, Melissa, inhabited a Manhattan micro-apartment in search of slow in the fastest city in the world. Here, the couple, with baby in tow, search for balance, humanity, and happiness in Suraqueta, Bolivia. They build an adobe house beside a prolific orchard and organic garden and weave their life into the community of permaculturists, bio-builders, beer brewers, artists, and creative businesspeople. Can this transition town succeed in the face of encroaching North American capitalism, and can Powers and the other settlers find the balance they’re seeking? Dispatches from the Sweet Life is compelling, thought-provoking, and, no matter the outcome, inspirational.

Mindfulness, the science of peak performance, and your spiritual practice.

Why are basketball players meditating? And what can engaged spiritual practitioners gain from high performing athletes?  We are all learning how to sustain mental toughness and act skillfully in the face of intense difficulty. Currently, high performing athletes, artists, activists and leaders are drawing on the principles of mindfulness, meditation and Buddhism. In the face of adversity we all want our  best "doing" rise out of our best "being".  Come learn how flow, grit, recovery, and growth mindset can benefit your chosen performance. Gain personal insight from the crossroads of performance theory and spiritual practice.
