If you’re new here, welcome.
You may already know a lot about mindfulness. You may have read the books, listened to the talks, or sat many times on your own.
But knowing something and living it are different.
Practice is what helps insight land in real life. Especially when we practice with other people.

Banyan is a place to return to practice.
Each week, we gather for meditation, shared reflection, and honest conversation about what it means to live with more awareness, compassion, and truth.
We practice together because real life gives us plenty to work with. And because practice can deepen when it’s held in community.

Banyan was founded with Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield.
Their teachings have shaped the heart of this community from the beginning.
What matters to us is not only the wisdom of the teachings, but the ongoing practice of living them — with honesty, compassion, and in relationship with others.
That spirit is still here.
It’s part of what holds Banyan, and part of what we continue to practice together.

Mindfulness & Self-Compassion for Chronic Pain & Illness.
An 8-week small-group program.
Less suffering. More support. Skills that work.

Mindfulness doesn’t make pain disappear.
But it can soften the struggle around it.
In our 8-week chronic pain & illness groups, we practice staying present with what’s here — with steadiness and compassion.
If this feels supportive, we’d love to welcome you.

Some days ask for less.
If that’s today, listen.
Gentle is still progress.

Not a mantra.
Not a goal.
Just a shared intention
for strength, ease, and a little more kindness - today.
An itch shows up.
The urge to move appears.
And for a moment, you don’t react.
This is how we practice staying with discomfort—
so it doesn’t run our lives.
