In-person gatherings · Bay Area
Loneliness is the quiet epidemic of our time. These small gatherings are my answer: real food, real conversation, and room to be yourself. Seats are limited, so guests are invited from the list below.
Feast, friends and inner flourishing. An intimate, gently guided dinner where strangers become friends through meaningful questions and honest sharing.
An evening of breathwork, meditation and dance, a vegetarian dinner, and a sunset walk through the vines. The last one sold out.
Join the list for future dinners and get the 21-Day Challenge free. I send an invitation a few weeks before each gathering. No spam, and you can leave anytime.
Ten years of retreats
From Tuscan lawns to Montana ponds and the Monterey coast. Retreats are resting for now, and the list above is the first place new ones will be announced.








About Jay
I spent eighteen years as a monk, studied engineering, and have traveled to more than 60 countries teaching meditation. My teaching blends contemplative practice with modern neuroscience, so it works for skeptics as well as seekers.
Today I live the practice in ordinary life: in my work, my friendships and the communities I build. My mission is simple. Help people feel less alone, and more awake to the joy that is already here.
Practice shows up in how you live. Here is where you'll find me the rest of the week.

Kind words
He brings a level of peace and understanding I rarely witness in a high-paced startup.
Armen Berjikly
Founder, Kanjoya
Some of my leaders were reluctant, but Jay built an immediate rapport with the entire group.
Tom Davin
CEO, 511 Tactical
Everyone was very impressed. I give Jay the highest recommendation possible.

For questions you'd rather not post in the group. I read every message, though replies can take a week or so. For community conversation, join the Facebook group.
Everything here is offered freely. If it has helped you, a small monthly gift on Patreon keeps it that way for everyone.
