Have you been trying for ages to start a meditation practice but something’s not clicking?
Do you know you “should” meditate but you don’t really know how?
Are you wondering if meditation is even good for you because you just wind yourself around your thoughts and spend all your time in inner conflict?
Do you want to claim attention as your own?
Do you need the support of a caring skilled teacher and a community net with a clear structure?
This program is uniquely formatted to help you establish a simple yet rich, and committed meditation practice through structure, individualized support, and community accountability.
Over the three months, we will contemplate different aspects of the good life, and we will learn how to apply these qualities to our own existence, through meditation and other supporting techniques.
Each week, a unique thought-provoking perspective is shared that is directly applicable to expanding joy and increasing present moment engagement in your life. Weekly themes are intentionally simple and sincere.
There is no dogma, jargon, or confusing conceptualization. This program is simple, accessible, and its methods are proven.
Come learn how to be with yourself, with joy and stability. Everyone will benefit.
People often associate Buddhism and Hinduism with meditation.
Meditation as a practice is equal to the goal of meditation itself: to be present, here and now, with life exactly as it is unfolding.
Meditation, therefore, isn’t an ism; meditation is what is.
It’s so simple…but is anything but easy.
Magic is present here and now. You know this. Why can’t you feel it with regularity?
The practice of meditation is the practice of tapping into the mystery.
When we examine the world we live in, very closely, we will see that it is ALL relationship(s). A meditation practice can offer alleviation from suffering, a resolve for our pain, and can even produce transcendent experiences into the nature of reality…but should not be an escape or a bypass from our humanity.
Rather, it should enhance it, opening up capacity for and expansion of greater intimacy – with ourselves, and with all of those around us.
Simply put, this course will help you…

YOUR GUIDE
Luke Wientzen
Luke’s clear transcendental experiences at a young age harshly contrasted with his Catholic school conditioning and left him wondering if what he had experienced had been merely a figment of his imagination.
By his early 20’s, he regularly contemplated the existence of God and the meaning of life with utter confusion, hopelessness, and a sense of despair. Not knowing where to turn nor who to speak to, Luke stumbled upon yoga at the age of 25 and this began a series of events that stirred memories of the glimpses of the infinite he had seen as a youth.
Gradually, yoga led him to his first formal meditation teacher.
After five years of sitting with a mantra and wading through deep and seemingly endless dimensions of boredom and fatigue, Luke experienced a life-altering back injury that led to crossing paths with a Zen master who remains his teacher and chosen practice.
As a mindfulness and meditation teacher, Luke incorporates non-jargoned real-life perspective into a modernized approach that remains consistent and true to his own experiences. Open, experienced, and receptive to a wide range of practices that assist in embracing this human experience (such as breathwork, yoga asana, shadow work, and biofeedback), Luke instructs intention-oriented meditation geared at alleviating the suffering of individuals and thereby those closest to them, in the realization of joyful being.
