Get Started

There are many ways to get started living a Mindful Life!

Whether you’re interested in group courses, private guidance or want to work on your own, Meditate Wenatchee is here to guide you along the way!

Sometimes we don’t know what we want, or how to begin a new practice. If this is you, contact Kari and I can help you decide the best way for you to begin.

Another great way to get started is simply by joining the Meditate Wenatchee Community by signing up for our newsletter. Monthly I blog about how Mindfulness plays itself out in my own life. In addition, you will also receive details for current online & in person courses, and community events.  

See more details for getting started below!

When starting something new take these principles into consideration.

  • be consistent– practice daily, and at same time each day

  • be kind and encouraging to yourself, NO judgment or criticism please

  • be intentional– find a reason you are starting this practice that speaks from the heart and captures the core of your health goal(s).

Get Started in a Group

If a group interests you then please check out the the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Course. A great way to get started learning any new skill is to do so with a group who share a common goal and interest.

If committing to an 8-week group feels too much, consider dropping in on one of Meditate Wenatchee’s weekly drop in sessions, available in person or on Zoom!

Get Started On Your Own- Resource Up

For many of us, starting a new venture, or learning a new skill, in a group setting, brings up vulnerability and fear.  Perhaps you’d prefer to work on your own for awhile first.  If so check out the “resources” page for a list of my favorite apps for you to get started today!

Get Started One on One

For those seeking private, one on one, guidance in their life, this service is a life coaching model imbedded into a foundation of Mindfulness instruction.  We work in sessions, either by zoom or in person, to walk through the challenges you are facing, building the Mindfulness muscle to meet life with more resilience, skillfulness, and courage.

MBSR has been a powerful counterbalance to the unique challenges we’ve faced in 2020. The class structure helped me cultivate a habit, and I use my new skills everyday.
