Helping people practice mindful presence
Through musical storytelling, shared meals, group meditation, and open-source technology.
Why We Exist
Disconnected by the technology meant to connect us
People are more distracted, more isolated, and less in control of their digital lives than ever. The technology that promised connection delivered addiction. The platforms that promised empowerment delivered dependence. We believe there's a better way — one that starts with being fully present and ends with owning the tools that organize your life.
What We Do
Four paths to presence
Every program is a concrete expression of our mission to help people practice mindful presence.
Spellbound
Musical storytelling gatherings where live music and personal narrative create shared moments of deep presence.
Shared Meals
Community dining experiences that nourish bodies and build belonging through the simple act of eating together.
Meditation
Group mindfulness practice welcoming all traditions — creating space for stillness in a noisy world.
