It can also introduce us to an experience of ourselves that we can’t then find in our day-to-day lives, creating disconnect and dissonance with the life we have. It doesn’t have to be that way. Join Ellie for a practical yet profound introduction to meditation as an integrated, living practice. Over the course of six every-other-week sessions, you will learn an approach to practicing—whether on the cushion or in life—that is simple and sustainable, accessible and insightful. You will come away with a practice that creates connection, clarity, and meaning within the life you have.

Her work integrates her background in education, knowledge of learning methodologies and human development, life coaching techniques, and extensive experience as both a teacher and practitioner of yoga and meditation. Ellie has also been a dedicated student of life for as long as she can remember; being taught by the experiences she's lived by asking deeper questions, being curious about the human condition, and by relentlessly searching for that which that surpasses our conceptual understandings of purpose and meaning. Anchored in and guided by her own lived experiences, Ellie has the unique ability to help individuals identify deeply unconscious patterning and to help them make connections they haven't otherwise made in other forms of self-development or self-discovery work. Ellie's pragmatic and down-to-earth approach makes what feels like out-of-reach, inaccessible understandings accessible, relevant, and practical.
