I offer online and in-person mindfulness meditation sessions tailored to artists, dancers, creative technologists, and blockchain enthusiasts. During these sessions, we explore the power of embodied awareness, also known as “bodyfulness,” by reinterpreting the four foundations of mindfulness from early Buddhism. I combine contemporary practices influenced by embodied cognition and somatics with the practice of “Sati” to offer a fully embodied perspective on mindfulness.
Each session includes guided mindfulness practice, somatic movement awareness, and a council/dialogue practice. I have researched and developed embodied presence practices for online environments, enabling me to teach mindfulness from a fully embodied perspective.

As a certified meditation teacher, I have a deep appreciation for the Buddha and his teachings. It’s said that he liked to be represented by footprints, but I imagine he would have a good laugh and enjoy these AI-generated depictions of him. From a Buddha inspired by the work of Basquiat and Haring to those depicted in Blade Runner and Jim Henson, these representations may be empty, but they highlight the enduring influence of the Buddha and his teachings.
