Ever since childhood, my passion has been to learn about the healing of mind, body, and spirit.I believe that we form a healing partnership when we work together in which your inner healer is mobilized—and we all have one, you will not be the exception! 

After studying meditation, esoteric states of consciousness, and subtle body healing practices for years, my daughter and I started the Modern Meditation School together early in the pandemic—to help people find balance and an ongoing sense of well-being despite the chaos. Our programs are offered by donation only so that anyone who wants to may attend. 

Meditation and learning to live in awareness throughout the day has totally transformed our own lives. It is a profound avenue to get clear on your soul purpose and destiny. To learn more, please visit our home page at www.modernmeditationschool.com. Right now, our programs are purely online. We look forward to the day when we can have in-person programs in Sedona, Arizona near where we live. 

Weekly Awareness Meditation Special

Wednesday evenings 8 pm - 9 pm  (EST) in Zoom.

We don't want you to feel stressed if you aren't able to attend each of the weekly meditations so we decided to make the payment structure flexible.  Pay what you can afford up to $15 per session.  A minimum charge of $5/session is suggested to help defray our costs. 

A Zoom link to join the meditation will be sent upon successful payment.  Please note that each session will have its own Zoom link.

Each week we will also send you a new link to purchase the next session, if you are interested in joining us.  If you are going to be able to attend, we ask that you complete your donation payment prior to the scheduled session.
