Metaphor
Mindful Boston is metaphorically the “adult-ed cooking school” of meditation. The work we do is all about a particular type of "nutrition.” The practice of mindfulness nurtures your own wellness, and also gives you the stamina to nurture others.
1. Free Biscuits!
If you subscribe to our school's "free guest pass," it's like being a patron of your local baking school and getting free biscuits. You're welcomed to come by the bakery, say hello to your neighborhood chefs and get acquainted with their products.
Our free products are not literal "biscuits," our products are recorded learning modules that help you stay with a meditation practice: audios and videos of guided meditations. Simply enter your email address to be on our Free Guest Pass subscription.

2. Lab Work - Classes For The "Home Chef"
Our Tier 2 paid membership is for folks who want to take part in "cooking up" the modules. Any home chef loves to take a class in order to hone their skills. Working in the bakery kitchen alongside other cooks..., experimenting…, getting your hands covered with the ingredients... The Lab Work is where the deeper learning, and the transformation, happens.
…and for teachers
The "home chefs" do Lab Work in Tier 2 lab classes during the one-year Living With The Seasons course.
And then some want to try their hand at becoming meditation teachers, or adding meditation to their current professional offerings. Mindful Boston has advanced memberships for aspiring teachers, and then also accomplished teachers too. Networking, continuing education, and peer support are essential in any industry.
In Conclusion
Just as in cooking, there are mindfulness techniques for bringing your A-game, and avoiding pitfalls.
Mindful Boston is the place for growing, learning, and honing your mindfulness skills.
