A calmer mind.

Meditation with personal guidance, ongoing support, and people to share the journey.
Free · 45 minutes · No experience needed
A quiet space to begin.
“The best thing I learned was I learned to be good to myself.”

WHAT WOULD FEEL DIFFERENT FOR YOU?
More peace in your mind.
More presence in your life.
People come with different hopes. We begin with what matters to you.
A little more ease
Less time caught in anxious thoughts and replaying the same worries.
Closer connections
More patience with people you love—and a kinder relationship with yourself.
Space to recharge
Time for rest, self-care, and your everyday well-being.
A steadier balance
More room for yourself alongside work, family, and everything you carry.
THE HUMAN SIDE OF MEDITATION
Tried an app,
but still feel on your own?
An app can be a useful start. At Bayside, you can talk with a guide about what comes up—and keep learning with someone who understands your practice.
Guidance shaped around you
Bring the worry, relationship, or everyday moment on your mind. Ask questions as you learn.
Support beyond the first session
Work through what feels difficult, revisit a step, and build a practice you can return to.
People to keep going with
Share the practice—and moments of everyday life—with a welcoming community.
A METHOD FOR THE THOUGHTS YOU CARRY
The conversation is over.
Why is it still on your mind?
Our guided letting-go practice helps you explore the thoughts and feelings attached to everyday experiences. You learn how to work with what stays with you, rather than simply putting it aside for a while.
Reflect. Recognize. Let go.
Reflect
Look back at an experience that stays with you, such as a conversation you keep replaying.
Recognize
Notice the thoughts, feelings, and patterns connected to those experiences.
Let go
Practice letting go with your guide. You don’t need to suppress feelings or erase memories.
A COMMUNITY TO BE PART OF
Practice together.
Enjoy life together.
Find connection through shared meditation, time outdoors, and moments together beyond the regular session.
Take the practice outside
Beach meditation, walking meditation, and hiking—time to slow down and enjoy nature together.
Make room for connection
Gatherings like our matcha and journaling event bring people together to reflect, talk, and get to know one another.
A WEEKLY MOMENT FOR MEMBERS
Monday evening.
Time to reflect.
Journaling meditation for members, every Monday evening.
Journaling + meditation
Connected to our neighborhood
Our community activities have included park meditation with Yelp and participation in Crocheron Park’s Yoga Day.
What if my mind won't slow down? You don't need to arrive with a quiet mind. Tell your guide what feels difficult, and ask questions as you try the practice.
I've tried meditation before. Is this for me? You're welcome to explore a guided approach. The intro is a chance to discuss what you've tried and see whether this method and support feel right for you.
What happens after the free intro? Ask about ongoing classes and membership options. Regular sessions after enrollment are separate from the free 45-minute intro.
