I am grateful to be here. I ended a 20-year marriage recently and am exploring a variety of new activities and communities. I have started meditation practices a few times, and am sold on its benefits, but have lacked consistency due to my then-extremely busy, and now relatively intense but moderately more forgiving, career. I look forward to developing a consistent practice and learning and growing with you all.

Hello everyone, I am grateful to have found this community. I've been in the practice for about three years now. I moved to Austin last year because I wanted to live in a bigger city. Outside the practice, I love to dance, read, hike, try new fitness routines, and garden -- I own over 100 houseplants! Something I'm exploring currently is "Shoonya" meditation.
