1. Learn to Meditate
2. Invest in Wellness
3. Help Others

Since 2014 our community has been teaching meditation to beginners, supporting each other in sustaining a daily practice and exploring wellness, and then training volunteers as meditation instructors. 

We're growing quickly. To date we've taught over 16,000 people how to meditate, have 41 volunteer meditation instructors, and over 50,000 in our online groups. 

The good news is there are a ton of resources available online to learn how to meditate. The bad news is there are so many different traditions and practices that so many options can be confusing or overwhelming to a beginner. 

Our community is comprised entirely of volunteers who came to a meditation practice seeking a positive change in their own life. We're ordinary men and women from around the country with families, jobs and busy schedules just like you. Yet, we all agree this practice has changed our life so profoundly we feel compelled to gratefully pay it forward. 

We offer several modes of learning so you can select options that best suit your needs: Short articles and videos, one-on-one work with an instructor by phone or webcam, local chapters, weekend retreats, and a monthly crash course via conference calls. 

Our community starts with a stripped down version of meditation that can function alone as a practice or serve as a foundation for mindfulness, vipassana, insight, zazen, metta or other forms of meditation. We emphasis starting small and focusing on just 3 to 5 minutes a day for the first two months. 

OnLine

We number over 50,000 and we use the web to inspire and support each other with discussion groups and positive posts. There are several ways you can connect with us online. 

Retreats 

In person retreats are on hold for the time being.   

Challenges

Every month we get together to focus on a specific meditation or wellness topic. Challenges last 7, 10 or 21 days and help renew our commitment to a daily practice while deepening our individual experience. 

Blog

Our team of bloggers offer a variety of voices and insights to help you continue to grow your practice. With topics ranging from mindful parenting to yoga there is always something good to read.

New Leaf Meditation Project Instructors 

We have 22 instructors available to help you get started meditating. Our instructors are volunteers who never charge for their services. 

There is no better way of learning how to meditate than to work one-on-one with an experienced practitioner. Meditation instruction is free and can be scheduled here. 

Our meditation instructor training program prepares volunteers to help us reach our goal of teaching a million people how to meditate. If you have been practicing regularly for at least a year, you are invited to apply for our instructor training program.
