About us
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 daylong and half-day meditation retreats, 1โ2 times 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 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.

I have held a consistent meditation practice since 2013, primarily in the lineages of Tibetan and Theravฤda Buddhism, and stepped onto the teaching path after completing Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach's two-year meditation teacher training program. My approach to meditation is centered on everyday life, weaving the practice into our daily rhythms, responsibilities, and communities. By practicing and cultivating presence throughout our lives, we awaken our hearts to meet each moment with more compassion, gratitude, and courage. Explore Nick's writing here.
