meditation for active minds

“I tried to meditate, but I can’t stop thinking!”

If that’s been your experience, you’re in good company. Many of us were taught that meditation is a “pass/fail” test where success equals a silent mind. But what if a busy mind isn’t a “fail”? What if it’s just part of the practice?

Instead of judging or excluding our thoughts, mindfulness meditation invites us to befriend them.

Imagine a life where you don’t have to believe everything you think. Where you can meet yourself with the same warmth and curiosity you’d greet a close friend.

In this 6-week series, we’ll practice navigating difficulty, savoring joy, and finding a steady place to land.

Join me, Drea (Dray-ah) Hartwell, as we walk this path together. A path of community. A path with heart. A path that will guide us home.
