Meditation Community
What We Offer
Mindfulness or Insight Meditation is the drawing of awareness to the flow of present moment experience (thoughts, feelings, physical sensations, or simple beingness) with openness, and an attitude of acceptance. In doing this, we train our body and mind to come out of our habitual patterns of stress and negativity, allowing us to experience life with clarity and wisdom. Not merely a passive practise, mindfulness invites us to actively investigate the ways in which the mind gets hooked on old thoughts and beliefs, and trains us to bring it back to the extraordinary potential that exists within the present moment..
Despite its apparent simplicity, mindfulness meditation is tremendously powerful and can open us to our capacity to live a vibrant, awake life full of compassion and creativity. When practised sincerely and consistently over time, it has the potential to free us from many kinds of suffering.
At Heart Space, we celebrate each mindful moment as a step toward a richer existence.

“ I have seen how truly happy Shira is when facilitating a group gathering, and her full-heartedness is contagious! She brings about a space of connection and I have seen how we all realize we are truly welcome and included. Best of all, the energy Shira brings to a room creates connection between participants — what a gift! She is an experienced and thoughtful presenter. Her group gatherings include her wise teachings and encourage child-like curiosity from all of us. I love Shira’s group gatherings. They are fun, they are healing, and they are a blessing to the community!”
