A Truly Unique Course
Rather than jumping from one meditation style to another, this course helps you build the essential foundation of mindfulness: a calm, relaxed, and focused mind. Drawing from decades of practice and teaching, John offers accessible, down-to-earth instructions—emphasizing clarity, compassion, and practical application.
You’ll learn:
How to develop the “roots” of relaxation that support a grounded practice
How to build the “trunk” of stability by training your attention
How to experience the “leaves” of clarity and insight that naturally arise from a strong foundation
This is not just another meditation course—it’s a path to greater awareness, emotional balance, and a more intentional life.
Dates: July 10th – August 7th
Live sessions: Thursdays at 6 pm Mountain Standard Time, USA (one hour)
Ongoing access to course videos and meditations.
Start today and grow the foundation for a lifetime of presence. Name your own price!
