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.
