Leaders in Mindfulness & Meditation

We are dedicated to providing mindfulness & meditation opportunities to improve the mental health and well-being of individuals in our communities. Creating awareness by practicing mindfulness & meditation rooted in the Dharma to see the world more clearly and collectively strength our body-mind connection. Cultivating a deeper sense of belonging, gently and courageously working at the edges of our understanding to widen our circles of compassion, until there is no Other. Exploring and protecting what we value, what we hold sacred; restoring and creating a world we want to live in, knowing we are not alone, we do this work together.

🍂 Join us for our annual Fall Daylong Retreat 🍂

Platte River State Park has been one of my favorite local places for more than 30 years. I’m looking forward to returning there with our community on Saturday, November 7, for a day of mindfulness, nature, connection, and rest.

We’ll gather at Mallet Lodge, our place of shelter for the day, and spend time exploring the beauty of the park, including its waterfall. Together, we’ll also reflect on the shift in daylight and explore our relationship with the dark.

There will be opportunities for movement, connection, and deep rest, all in the cradle of Mother Nature. 🌿

Thank you to everyone who has already registered! We have a handful of spots still open and would love to have you join us.

Join us this Sunday for The Sunday Practice, as Katie Hupp leads a Grateful Gathering exploring what it means to live compassionately.

Our shared suffering connects us. How might we respond to that connection with care? When can we take action to ease another’s suffering, and what helps us keep our hearts open when turning away feels easier?

Come as you are for reflection, practice, and connection.

Sunday, 4–5:15 PM at Flatwater Collective
Freely offered. No registration required.

The Sunday Practice | Connection & Curiosity in the Midst of Conflict

This Sunday, we welcome Susie Hiley as our guest teacher!

In times of disagreement and uncertainty, how might we remain connected to ourselves and others? How can curiosity help us navigate conflict with greater awareness, compassion, and understanding?

Susie will guide us through meditation and reflection, creating space to explore how we meet differences and stay open, even when things feel challenging.

📍 Flatwater Collective

As always, The Sunday Practice is freely offered, with no registration required. All are welcome, whether you're new to meditation or have an established practice.
