Ways to practice with A Quiet Nest
Current Offering
GATHERING LIGHT
A Gentle Introduction to Mindfulness
through a live online course in a small group circle.
Next Course starting July 14
Gathering Light is a four-week online meditation course created for anyone longing to begin, or gently return to, a mindfulness meditation practice.
Together we'll explore simple, accessible meditation practices that help us come home to the present moment with greater steadiness, curiosity, and compassion. Each session includes guided meditation, gentle teaching, time for reflection and inquiry, and practical tools to support your practice in everyday life.
Our circle is intentionally small, creating space to learn at your own pace and be supported in community. Whether you're new to meditation or simply longing for a quieter way of being, you are warmly welcome.
The practices are simple. Their effects often unfold quietly, one moment of awareness at a time.
Current session gathering soon:

Meditation
Come exactly as you are.
Meditation offers a gentle way to cultivate presence, steadiness, and compassion in everyday life. Whether you're beginning a practice for the first time or returning after years away, guided sessions provide a welcoming space to slow down, connect with the breath, and discover mindfulness as a companion for daily living.
Offerings include introductory courses, community meditation circles, and seasonal practices designed to support greater ease, clarity, and inner balance.
Yoga Nidra · Deep Rest
Rest is a sacred form of care.
Yoga Nidra is the practice of being gently guided into one of the deepest states of conscious rest, where spacious awareness, presence, and profound restoration can naturally unfold.
As the body rests and the mind begins to soften, we create space to reconnect with ourselves beneath the busyness of everyday life. There is nothing to achieve and nowhere to get to, only an invitation to receive the healing qualities of stillness, quiet, and deep rest.
Each practice is offered with warmth, choice, and compassion, creating a welcoming space for anyone longing to restore, replenish, and simply be.
Offered in small groups or privately, via online zoom.
One-on-One Guidance
Sometimes the most meaningful practice happens in a space created just for you.
You don't have to walk the path alone.
Sometimes we benefit from having a quiet space that is held just for us.
These individual sessions offer a gentle opportunity to slow down, reconnect, and explore your practice with personalized support. Together, we'll meet whatever is present with curiosity and compassion, creating space for greater clarity, steadiness, and ease.
Whether you're establishing a meditation practice, moving through a life transition, navigating grief or uncertainty, seeking deeper rest, or simply longing for a place to pause and be heard, each session is shaped around your intentions and your unique path.
Every offering is grounded in mindfulness, deep rest, and compassionate presence—meeting you exactly where you are.
Courses & Retreats
Practice grows beautifully in community.
There is something special about practicing together.
Throughout the year, A Quiet Nest offers small-group courses, seasonal workshops, and retreat experiences that invite us to slow down, reconnect, and deepen our practice in community.
Each gathering is thoughtfully created with spaciousness in mind -- blending meditation, Yoga Nidra, somatic yoga, gentle reflection, and meaningful conversation in a warm and welcoming environment. These gatherings are an invitation to step away from the pace of everyday life and return to what matters most.
New offerings are shared throughout the year. Join the mailing list to receive updates and early registration.
