About Me

Hi, Jeff here and I'm at what feels like a meaningful juncture in my journey. I'm a bit of a newcomer to most terms and concepts; definitely looking to learn and am very open to guidance! I took a course on meditation in college and a few years ago did a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction course. While incredibly helpful, I believe that the context in which I was doing these courses was one of "meditate so that ______." That never quite felt right, so I disregarded the "so that ______" not too long ago.

During my MBSR course, I mentioned to my teacher about a few things that happened as I began to observe the observer and he recommended I not go too far down that hole without some guidance. He jokingly said "It's all fun and games until someone loses an I." I'm not sure why I didn't search earlier (I think because I didn't quite know what to search for) but someone recently told me to see if I could find a "Sangha" and here I am!
