The mindfulness itself is free.
Mindfulness and compassion are sister qualities of heart. Think about the idea of paying for compassion… it doesn’t make a lot of sense.
YET… The administration and coordination for studio classes is gruntwork. The hours of preparation are gruntwork. Zoom fees and electricity and renting an office are all required infrastructure with costs.
Therefore, Mindful Boston has created an upgraded subscription program to help pay for the gruntwork and the infrastructure so that we can all keep doing this important work of keeping a studio open for each other.

Please upgrade your subscription for two reasons:
1) Keeping the studio doors open
2) Getting access to a suite of classrooms, coaching, labwork, podcasts and live lessons.
At Mindful Boston, the free subscription is also known as Tier 1, it’s for folks who are testing the waters.
If you are ready to dive into practice, jump right into Tier 2, it’s our General Membership.
The General Membership includes everything from the free Tier 1, plus advanced benefits!
Tier 2:
-Sunday News, plus Thursday Lab Notes
-Daily meditation guides
(calendar + workbook + podcast)
-Group coaching calls
-Upgraded Classrooms With Lab Work
And, of course, all Tier 1 benefits are included:
-Guided Meditations
-One-Quote-Bookclub Webinars
-“Meditate-With-Me” referrals
-The Studio Planner
-The Getting Started Course
-The Keep Going Calendar Course
