Join the Home Base community on Substack here:
Just honesty.
Curiosity.
Practice. And Company.
It's both a community of continual practice and support, and my studio for building new meditations.
Each week, I write about the baffle-wonder-challenge of life—parenting, relationships, attention hijacks, existential dread, unexpected joy— and I pair it with a short guided meditation on the same theme.
You read a bit. You meditate. You meet others in the community and hang out with them too. That’s pretty much it.
No incense fog machine or performance enlightenment.
No promises to perfect yourself in six easy installments.
Like a home base in meditation, Home Base is meant to be a comfortable place you can return to again and again.
9-minute meditation
On the joys of giving up.
F*ck It
5-minute meditation
An ADHD-friendly meditation for when you’re too jumpy to sit still.
Gradual Transitions
12-minute meditation
What irrefutably true shitshow is going on in your life?

Start With a Meditation
11-minute meditation
Disarm the mind with maximum accessibility
With your online Do Nothing Community, I finally have a place where I feel safe to experiment with being honest and open about who I am, including my struggles with mental health. I have always tried to be open about it, but it hasn’t always worked well for me or for my family. As we all know there is still quite a bit of stigma around mental health. This community lends me some courage as well as good feedback and support, and gives me the opportunity to support others.

How to Join:
For years, most of my meditations lived inside apps. Which I’m grateful for. “Millions of listens” is bananas. And it’s different when I can talk to people directly.
Here, you can comment. You can ask questions. You can show up to live Hangouts. You can submit practice requests.
This isn’t a guru-to-disciple transmission. It’s more like: here’s my always changing and sometimes messed-up life, and this is how I’m getting through it. Let’s compare notes!
Deep practice spreads through contact. Through repetition. I think practice and community support are the keys to preventative mental health – also well-timed jokes at our own expense. Especially my expense.
So come get some!
THIS IS A COMMUNITY,
NOT A CONTENT MACHINE.
Tune in live, or watch the replay afterward.

NEXT SESSION:
Every Sunday night, I host a live meditation called The Do Nothing Project. The premise is ambitious:
We sit. We connect. Nothing really happens.
Repeat!
