the problem

There is a lack of free spaces for meditation or that are not affiliated with a particular religion or ideology. This lack of accessible and inclusive meditation spaces can be problematic, as meditation can be an incredibly valuable tool for managing stress, anxiety. Discover how the organizer’s need for human connection without an agenda, inspired her to promote this free weekly meditation event.

MEET THE ORGANIZER

MARIA PEREZ

RYT 200 & Meditation Lead

As a minority and buddhist, I have always been committed to breaking down barriers and promoting inclusivity in all areas of my life. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit and left me dealing with long-covid, I realized how motivation through the collective can be an incredibly powerful force for moving forward, especially in the recovery from challenging situations, whatever they might be.

MEET THE Meditation Lead

STENLI DUKA

After working in tech for 10 years, I burned out and felt it physically, mentally and emotionally. It’s been a long journey getting myself healthy again and yoga has been a key part of it for me. During my yoga teacher training, I began to meditate more consistently and found a new passion in guiding meditations.
