About us
Open Heart practices are for anyone who has an interest in spirituality and creating meaningful change in their life. We focus on down-to-earth practices that can be felt, practices that transform your mind, body, and heart. For those who wonder what your true nature is and how to become yourself again, please join.
Read more about Open Heart here, or find us on Facebook or Instagram.
Each weekly session will follow a different theme, with practices that match. Themes will include:
- What is your true nature? (hint, you are good)
- Compassion in a world on fire
- Awakening: what is it, how do you get there?
- Digital divide: why in-person community matters
- Meditation for neurodivergent minds: no willpower required
- Full healing of trauma: no dream too big
Your instructor:
I’m Lindsay Kriebel, an instructor (skt. acharya) with Open Heart Sangha. I’ve practiced with Open Heart for going on 5 years, following 10 years of throwing every self-help solution I could find at addiction, depression, and social anxiety. It’s taken me this long to see that complex problems can’t be solved by more overthinking. Simple solutions like developing compassion for myself and others work exactly because they are so basic. When I’m not seeking spiritual realization, I’m a librarian, seeking information for law students at the University of Arizona.

Guided Meditation: A daily practice for clarity
Tucson Community Meditation Center, 1147 N Howard Blvd, Tucson, AZ, US*This event is posted in multiple places, so there will almost always be more attendees than are listed*
This week, I’ll introduce the practice I do every morning, called Rainbow Body Yoga (not yoga in the physical sense, it’s a sitting practice). This practice uses visualization, breathwork, and other methods to create a clear, stable mind that doesn’t just last through the day, but can reconfigure your mind for lasting change.
In these hour and a half sessions, I will guide us through sitting practice on a different theme each week. Themes will include:
- What is your true nature? (hint, you are good)
- Compassion in a world on fire
- Walking meditation in nature
- Meditation for neurodivergent minds: no willpower required
- Digital divide: the importance of in-person communityRead more about Open Heart at our website

Guided meditation: Broken relationships with religion
Tucson Community Meditation Center, 1147 N Howard Blvd, Tucson, AZ, US*This event is posted in multiple places, so it will almost always have more attendees than are listed*
Many people in the west have a strained relationship with religion, with churches feeling unwelcoming or close-minded. But we still crave spiritual experiences, the experience of something greater than ourselves, and the safety and support that comes with it. This week we'll discuss our experiences with religion and I'll lead a guided session in reconnecting to the god or gods of your choosing. It involves simply praying to god and asking to feel his or her support, and then leaving space to be receptive to whatever happens. Reconnect with unconditional love and support, which is available to all of us at any time, simply by asking.
This group is a place for imperfect people to have meaningful discussion and create genuine change.
