Welcome! We offer meditation instruction and classes in Toronto. Learn how to live in the world with a compassionate heart and a clear mind. With yoga and meditation as tools, our classes and retreats will help you reduce stress and find peace, calm and joy.

As householders, parents, and people leading ordinary lives in the city, we believe it is possible to live within society and bring compassion and awareness into our lives. We believe that our society urgently needs to develop a thoughtful and ethical way to live. Meditation studies can help us develop wholesome and happy lives.
