Why You Should Join Us

Are you wanting to begin or deepen your meditation practice?

Do you long to connect and share on a deeper level than everyday "surface-level" chatting? 

Would you like support in showing up in the world in the way you intend to?

In this online mindfulness community, it's ok to show up as you, as you are today in this moment, with your questions, your heartfelt yearnings, your lightness, and your heaviness. This is a space of friendliness, awakening, and doing the best that we can as we connect with each other and learn together.

The offerings here are still emerging. We are excited to offer live online events, online courses, discussion threads, guided meditations, and more to support your mindfulness practice.

Meet people who share an interest in
"Being Aware & Being Kind"

About Us

Monterey Bay Meditation Studio was founded in 2016 by Katie Dutcher & Marianne Rowe in Pacific Grove, California. From the beginning, our mission has been to make mindfulness and meditation accessible and relevant, and to offer opportunities to develop, sustain, and deepen your meditation practice while helping to create a diverse and supportive community of people interested in being, learning, and evolving.

While we have always wanted to offer online support, the physical distancing required by COVID-19 has invited us to find new ways of being together in community. The members of our community ARE Monterey Bay Meditation Studio, and we are excited that this space allows for connection beyond the local Monterey area. Thank you for being here and for co-creating this space with us.

Before requesting to join, we invite you to review the Community Guidelines carefully. If you agree to these guidelines, we welcome you!
