Hailey O'Hara
Lead Meditation Instructor
For over a decade, I have been guiding classes, retreats and trainings, passionately sharing the practice of meditation in a way that is accessible and relevant in today's world. My interest lies in the merging of western psychology and eastern wisdom traditions and I continue to explore this through formal study, dedicated personal practice, passionate inquiry and quiet contemplation. I believe meditation offers a roadmap to navigate our conditioned responses and behaviors and uncover the grace and wisdom that lie within.
