Our Meditation Practice Philosophy
PRACTICAL
Practice on and off the cushion
Meditation does not have to be complicated or deeply philosophical. It needs to be experienced and practiced. Every day.
Implementation of the learnings into every day life is our priority. Approaching the teachings practically, with structure and down to earth methods.
We help you form a habit. We integrate the practice into your routine. We let you experience the positive effects.
PERSONAL
Make meditation work for you
Meditation is a personal practice. What works for me might work for you in a different way.
Making meditation work for you personally is a main focus in this training.
Your time. Your pace. Your habit.
We help you tailor the practice to your needs. We guide personally (online), through videos, audios, manual and live sessions. We give you the tools to meditate on your own.
PEOPLE
Go beyond the lonely apps
Meditation apps are great. But an app can only bring you so far.
Going beyond generic guidance and mass meditations is the key. Personally guided meditations, accessibility to high quality content, and exchanging of ideas and experiences.
We are here for you. We meet. We provide guidance and a space to grow.
Upon completing the training, you gain access to an alumni network of like-minded students who discuss and meet regularly about the practice.
Your Meditation Teachers
Kolin Purcell
Kolin first tried meditation 10 years ago while studying engineering at the University of Michigan, and was initially unimpressed. But as the struggles of an overly packed modern lifestyle continued to hammer on his psyche, he decided to give it another try…
8 years of daily practice later, his life passion has become helping others to navigate the path which has borne so much fruit for him and so many he’s encountered. His emphasis is on bringing the sometimes esoteric-feeling concepts of meditation to people in a relatable way.
This passion for teaching and learning has sent him crisscrossing the planet. Initially, as the founder of a global mindfulness based wellness program engaging hundreds of employees in the practice of meditation. And later, as a solo traveler on a journey around the world living in monasteries and attending retreats to better understand the ancient roots of meditation.

Anna Schlegel
Anna’s first exposure to meditation was through the tradition of yoga, which she has been practicing and studying under various teachers, all over the world for 10 years. In 2016 she became certified as a yoga teacher with the Zuna Yoga school in Bali, Indonesia.
In search of a more practical and down to earth approach to meditation, she then encountered Vipassana in Israel. After practicing this form daily for over a year, she began to feel restricted by the rigid and antiquated style of Goenka meditation, and decided to look for a more accessible approach. This led her to the Asian continent where she attended (and later led) silent retreats based on a more modern form of mindfulness.
3 years later, she is spreading the teachings of mindfulness through her classes, workshops, retreats and (teacher) trainings across the globe. For others to experience what she experiences through this wonderful practice: presence, awareness and living life fully and happily.

Frequently Asked Questions
This training for you, if your are EITHER a beginner and want to learn how to meditate and incorporate a practical meditation practice into your life… OR if you are already meditating regularly and want to enhance the depth of your practice.
This training is for you if you want to be flexible to learn at your own pace and on your own time, but still want personal guidance and a space to ask questions and exchange knowledge.
This training is for you, if you want the tools to make meditation an essential part of your daily life.
Yes! If you already have a daily meditation practice, great. However, meditation is a life-long journey and there is always room for improvement. If you already have a practice, you will still find it useful to get various new inputs on how to practice, and even more importantly, how to practically apply the teachings to everyday life. Self-practice without input can only get you so far.
Even as teachers and multi-year daily meditators, we are constantly seeking new input for ourselves via retreats, trainings, workshops, and communication with our teachers. This training will give you the personalized tips and specific tools/techniques to get your further.
Meditation is a practice in which an individual uses a technique to train themselves to be more aware, achieve mental clarity and stability, emotional calmness and, in some forms of meditation, specific mental states.
“Mindfulness is the basic human ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we’re doing, and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what’s going on around us.” Being aware of the here and now, is mindfulness. Being able to be fully present and observe everything you do, you think, feel and experience in that very moment, without any judgment and attachment towards it.
We practice primarily Mindfulness Meditation.Mindfulness Meditation is a direct and gradual cultivation of mindfulness or awareness. One’s attention is carefully directed to an intense examination of certain aspects of one’s existence. Meaning, we train ourselves to notice more and more of our experience every second.
You can! And we encourage it! However, most people find that meditation apps can only get them so far. Because they are designed to appeal to a wide audience, it can be difficult to understand how to personalize the practice for you.
Everyone’s path to learning meditation is filled with confusions leading to questions, which is where having access to an experienced teacher and tailored content can make a huge difference.
First of all, that’s not a question…
But, this is a common thought people get into their head. But as we will study in the training, many of our thoughts do not represent reality…
We often like to think we’re a special being whose mind is too busy for a practice like meditation. But the reality is anyone can learn to meditate. But as with any new skill, the beginning can be difficult. Especially without the proper guidance.
We show you that you CAN meditate.
Not a question either… but so often we hear people talking about how running, biking, reading or a whole host of other activities “is their meditation”.
Whenever we do anything to engage our bodies or minds, there is necessarily an element of training or improvement involved. But formal mindful meditation practice is unique from most other healthy activities, in that it involves stepping away from regular physical and cognitive processes (“doing”) and watching as they occur on their own (“being”).
It’s possible to be mindful while exercising or doing other activities, which we will definitely discuss. But spending a little time every day in meditation where you are only in this observer mode, yields distinct benefits.
There is a time investment of estimated 5 hours per week, for 3 weeks in total.
Of course, you can self pace it however you would like, but we highly recommend sticking a disciplined schedule, as the practice is only truly effective if performed on a regular basis.
The 5 hour per week includes daily guided meditations, one 45 minute video call per week (Premium Tier only), and self-study of the online content including theory videos, workshops, and journaling exercises.
We highly recommend AGAINST this. The course is designed to create a meditation habit for you, which requires changes to the internal structures of your brain that can only occur with consistent DAILY practice. All of the material is design to be absorbed over the space of 3 weeks for maximum effect.
You choose the time for your daily practice. The time investment for this will be 15-20 minutes per day.
If you sign up for the Premium Tier, you will get to decide when to schedule the meetings.
In general, we highly recommend scheduling these meetings on Sundays.
If there is a better day of the week for you, we can most likely accommodate that as well.
We just ask that you keep the meeting time and day consistent for 3 weeks in order to keep with the structure of the training.
Yes! You will have access to all the content (guided meditations, theory videos & workshops, written manual, etc) for the rest of your life.
The current prices* of the training are listed at the bottom of this page.
* If the price is outside of your financial capabilities at the moment, but you have a strong desire to attend the training, contact us for the possibility of a scholarship or payment plan.
The Standard Tier gives you lifetime access to all of the online material (guided meditations, theory videos & workshops, written manual, etc) and most importantly, a daily meditation habit you get to keep for life.
The Premium Tier includes all of this, and additionally gives you 1:1 meetings with an experienced teacher every week during the duration of the course.
Having 1:1 guidance can be essential for two reasons:
One is that many challenges will arise during your practice, and some of them can be difficult to work through on your own. Having access to a teacher to discuss and work through them can be extremely valuable.
Secondly, having weekly meetings with a teacher while you progress through the course will help hold you accountable. With all of our busy lives, it can be difficult to find the motivation to keep up with this essential practice, but in our experience, people are often more successful taking full advantage of the the course material when they have a weekly touch point with a teacher.
Sure! Just fill out the form in the first lesson of the course with your availability for 1:1 meetings, and we will get back to you with instructions on how to upgrade.
Or contact us any time.
