I started practicing twenty-three years ago after a year that nearly broke me. I did not expect anything to change. Most of what I read warned me that it would not — at least not in the ways I imagined.

Twenty-three years on, the practice has not solved my life. It has, however, given me a relationship with my own mind I would not trade for any of the things I once thought I needed.

The Circle is for that long arc. We sit together across time zones. We support each other through the long dry stretches when nothing seems to be happening — which is most of the practice. We study the writing of teachers across traditions: Buddhist, Christian contemplative, Sufi, secular mindfulness.

What we don't do: sectarian arguments, productivity-hack framings of meditation, or any of the wellness-industry packaging. Members include doctors, programmers, parents, teachers, and the occasional ordained monastic in good standing. The pace is slow on purpose.
