What weโre about
Mindfulness in Everyday Life is a Meetup group focused on mindfulness meditation practice, mentorship, and building community on the spiritual path.
The current core offering of the group is a daylong meditation retreat (with half-day option) once per month. However, the offerings will be expanding soon with drop-in meditation classes, mentorship groups, workshops, and more. This is a growing and evolving space.
Each daylong retreat focuses on a different theme related to the meditation path and includes:
- Seated & walking meditation (guided and unguided)
- Dharma talks
- Noble silence
- Mindful eating
- Dharma sharing session
Here is information on the next retreat:

These offerings will be led by Nick Ingrisani. I'm a meditation teacher, writer, and musician who's been practicing meditation consistently since 2013, primarily in the lineages of Tibetan and Theravฤda Buddhism. I received my teaching certification from Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach after completing their two-yearย Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program. I also have significant experience facilitating authentic relating and circling events, and am training to become a mindfulness mentor.
My main intention for this group is to build a supportive community of people who are committed to the practice of meditation, so that our practice may be of service and benefit to all beings, great and small.
If you're interested in connecting with me, I publish a weekly newsletter called Mindfulness in Everyday Life.

Love Your Enemies || Daylong Meditation Retreat (half-day option available)
"Thereโs something about love that builds up and is creative. There is something about hate that tears down and is destructive. So love your enemies." โ Martin Luther King Jr.

Join in community for a day of mindfulness meditation practice focused on cultivating compassion for others. I believe that compassion is the medicine we need to carry us through the divisive, polarizing time that we live in. We will explore the process of alchemizing anger into compassion and love, and how the redemptive power of love can usher in a more connected, understanding, and caring world.
Beginners and experienced meditators are welcome.
