Intro

Roots

MBZ1 starts with a micro radio station.

The content is a recorded library of guided meditations, ambient sounds, and music.

You can tune in online day or night and mindfulness content will be there for you.

But the radio is just the beginning.

  • Coaching

    One-on-one time with a mindfulness teacher can offer a boost as you engage with meditation and enhance emotional intelligence skills.

  • Laughter!

    Since the work of mindful growth can get serious, it’s important to be light hearted and treat ourselves with kindness.

  • Conversations

    Inquiry: How does one live fully?

    Workshops bring mindfulness experiences to this inquiry. Because there is no one right answer, the conversation is rich.

  • Meditation circles

    Classrooms, workshops, lab work, and other learning experiences are the core of the Mindful Boston studio.

Silence?

When listening to radio MBZ1, there will be some silence. Guided meditation audio has many pauses.

Simply take a few breaths during any silent times and notice if there's an impulse to change the channel.

Resist that impulse, and the voice guidance will begin again soon.
