Wildfire Resources

As wildfires continue to affect the greater Los Angeles area, many of us are facing heightened emotions and stress. Our mindfulness education center is here to offer support through meditations and lectures designed to help you navigate these difficult times. 

We're here for you—together, we can find strength and healing.
