COMING THIS FALL
Tending the Heart
A Four-Week Mindfulness & Meditation Series
A space to explore practices for meeting ourselves and our lives with greater compassion, tenderness, steadiness, and care.
Tuesdays · 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM Pacific
September 29 – October 20 · Online
There are times when mindfulness asks more of us than simply noticing what is here.
How do we meet what we find with kindness? How do we stay close to ourselves in difficult moments without becoming overwhelmed? How do we cultivate a heart spacious enough to hold sorrow and joy, tenderness and strength?
Tending the Heart is a four-week contemplative series exploring mindfulness and heart-centered practices that support a compassionate, steady, and more loving relationship with ourselves and our lives.
Through meditation, reflection, gentle inquiry, and practices drawn from the Buddhist wisdom tradition and contemporary teachings on self-compassion, we'll explore what it means not to fix the heart, but to tend it.

Meditation
Come exactly as you are.
Meditation offers a gentle way to cultivate presence, steadiness, and compassion in everyday life. Whether you're beginning a practice for the first time or returning after years away, guided sessions provide a welcoming space to slow down, connect with the breath, and discover mindfulness as a companion for daily living.
Offerings include introductory courses, community meditation circles, and seasonal practices designed to support greater ease, clarity, and inner balance.
Yoga Nidra · Deep Rest
Rest is a sacred form of care.
Yoga Nidra is the practice of being gently guided into one of the deepest states of conscious rest, where spacious awareness, presence, and profound restoration can naturally unfold.
As the body rests and the mind begins to soften, we create space to reconnect with ourselves beneath the busyness of everyday life. There is nothing to achieve and nowhere to get to, only an invitation to receive the healing qualities of stillness, quiet, and deep rest.
Each practice is offered with warmth, choice, and compassion, creating a welcoming space for anyone longing to restore, replenish, and simply be.
Offered in small groups or privately, via online zoom.
One-on-One Guidance
Sometimes the most meaningful practice happens in a space created just for you.
You don't have to walk the path alone.
Sometimes we benefit from having a quiet space that is held just for us.
These individual sessions offer a gentle opportunity to slow down, reconnect, and explore your practice with personalized support. Together, we'll meet whatever is present with curiosity and compassion, creating space for greater clarity, steadiness, and ease.
Whether you're establishing a meditation practice, moving through a life transition, navigating grief or uncertainty, seeking deeper rest, or simply longing for a place to pause and be heard, each session is shaped around your intentions and your unique path.
Every offering is grounded in mindfulness, deep rest, and compassionate presence—meeting you exactly where you are.
Courses & Retreats
Practice grows beautifully in community.
There is something special about practicing together.
Throughout the year, A Quiet Nest offers small-group courses, seasonal workshops, and retreat experiences that invite us to slow down, reconnect, and deepen our practice in community.
Each gathering is thoughtfully created with spaciousness in mind -- blending meditation, Yoga Nidra, somatic yoga, gentle reflection, and meaningful conversation in a warm and welcoming environment. These gatherings are an invitation to step away from the pace of everyday life and return to what matters most.
New offerings are shared throughout the year. Join the mailing list to receive updates and early registration.
