For the past 6 years, meditation has played a pivotal role in my life, the benefits of which are unique and all too necessary in the hyper-connected world we live in today. Through experiences in intimate small group settings and larger retreats, I've come to realize a wellness practice is only as enriching as the community you surround yourself with. With the influx of impersonal wellness apps, and yoga studios closer to gyms than places of wellness in mind, I've attempted to create an experience that merges the convenience of a digital interface with the irreplaceable experience that connecting with a teacher brings. MindflPlaces was built in hopes to bring awareness to this aspect of meditation and yoga practice by connecting seasoned practitioners alike with wellness teachers in the privacy of a hosts’ home. By connecting community through shared spaces, MindflPlaces allows these practices to become more widely accessible.
