One 2 One · Individual Contemplative Sessions
These individual sessions offer a quiet, intimate space to explore your questions, experiences, and challenges on the contemplative path.
One 2 One meetings are not about fixing or improving yourself, but about creating the conditions to listen more deeply to what is already present in your life. Together, we slow down, inquire into what is alive for you, and allow understanding to unfold naturally through dialogue and reflection.
This is a space to bring what doesn’t easily fit into group settings. Personal doubts, transitions, emotional patterns, moments of confusion, or simple curiosity about your own inner world. Each session is shaped by your lived experience and your genuine interest in understanding yourself more clearly.
Rather than offering answers, these sessions invite you into a deeper relationship with your own awareness. Over time, this kind of inquiry can reveal new ways of meeting life with presence, honesty, and care.
If you feel drawn to explore your inner landscape in a more personal and spacious way, these sessions are an opportunity to do so with attention, patience, and support

Edward Duncan
Executive Director • InstructorI was introduced to mindfulness and meditation many years ago and it has cultivated the landscape to come to the realization and recognize the fact that who I essentially am has nothing to do with my thoughts, feelings, sensations, and perceptions. This practice has provided me with the tools to navigate and be present with the ever-changing, and at times, treacherous terrain called life. I wish as a young teenager growing up in the Bronx, I had these tools in my toolbox to allow me to be present with all of the internal discomfort and uneasiness associated with growing up.
