Welcome! Learn to meditate. Deepen your meditation practice. Using yoga and meditation as tools, we offer classes in Toronto and retreats in rural Ontario to help you reduce stress and find peace, calm and joy.

Our aim is to help people develop ways to live with a compassionate heart and a clear mind while remaining engaged with the ordinary world. We work in a variety of ways: through meditation, creative movement and yoga, through intellectual study and discussion, through visual art, story telling and sound.

Mindfulness Practice and Stress Reduction
Quote of the Moment - Friday May 9, 2008

"The first step toward the intellectual mastery of the world is the discovery of general principles and rules which bring order into chaos. By such mental operations we simplify the world of phenomena, but in doing so, we cannot avoid falsifying it, especially when we are dealing with processes of development and change.
   --Sigmund Freud (1856-1939)"
