Lighten Up & Root Down Meditation

At Lighten Up & Root Down Meditation, you’ll find a truly diverse, down-to-earth group—newbies and seasoned meditators alike—coming together to learn, grow, and have some real fun along the way. Our sessions are guided by Soto Zen Lay Entrustee, Shinji Mark Blacknell, and Personal Development Mentor/RN, Nichole Marie, offering a blend of traditional grounding practices and fresh, relatable approaches. We’re all about supporting one another, celebrating individuality, and keeping things light (no judgment, just good vibes). All faiths, political affiliations, ages, and abilities welcome. Whether you’re searching for clarity, calm, or just a little community, you’re welcome exactly as you are. Come root down, lighten up, and discover what happens when meditation meets real life!

Bring a folding chair (if you intend to meditate in a chair), meditation mat and cushion, yoga mat, thick blankets, pillows, or anything else handy around the house that you can use to be more comfortable during up to twenty minutes straight of silent meditation.

Online attendance options will be available in the future.

Donations accepted online and in person.
