Come for a morning of mindfulness, compassion, and community at the beach! In this 90-minute mini-retreat, you will enjoy guided stillness meditation, walking meditation, and compassion practice in the good company of the ocean, the elements, and one another. No meditation experience is necessary.

Meet on the beach in Santa Monica, between Lifeguard Towers 16 and 17, just south of the Santa Monica Pier. This part of the beach is easily accessible from the Downtown Santa Monica Metro stop.  Paid parking in public parking lots is also available. Detailed transportation, parking, and location instructions will be sent to participants in the days before the session.

Sessions are lead by Allyson Pimentel, EdD, Director, Mindful USC and Gauri Kolhatkar, MD, Keck School of Medicine.
