welcome
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
-Mary Oliver, excerpt from “Wild Geese”
introduction to meditation

Between each breath, between each thought, there is space—a quiet opening into presence. I'm Emily, and I’m grateful you’re here. Meditation has shown me the simple, profound gift of paying attention, of meeting life as it is. These courses are an invitation to explore that—gently, with curiosity, and in community.

about your guide
My meditation journey began in the Insight tradition back in 2015 and has deepened through years of study, retreat, and practice across lineages. I am a certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher, having studied for two years in Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach’s teacher training program with Sounds True. Along the way, I’ve sat in silent retreats at Spirit Rock and Southern Dharma, spent time practicing in a Thai forest monastery, and studied Mahayana Buddhism in Dharamsala, India.
These experiences continue to shape how I share meditation—grounded in tradition yet woven into the rhythms of our daily lives.
