Stream Circle: An online community for inner practice, connection, and growth

Connecting with others is a powerful foundation for our inner practice. Being in community amplifies our own practice, inspires us to continue when we falter for whatever reason, and mirrors our contributions, making them more potent. We, in turn, encourage others, and together we create a positive feedback loop that can be a support in times of joy, need, and transformation.

Just sitting together in Zen meditation and Stream Reiki, in non-judgmental, welcoming presence, even as the deeper layers arise and shift, can be life-changing, unlocking greater health, happiness, and compassion for self and others. It is invaluable, fun & human, and it works.

This is what we are working towards here in Stream Circle.

As the beloved non-duality teacher Ram Dass has said, “we are all just walking each other home,” and the pace is our own.

It can work well to join after taking our 2-week course or one-to-one programs.

You’re also warmly welcome to sign up as your first experience at Entering the Stream. It’s a long-standing tradition to join a group and learn inner practice as you go along, and we provide everything you need to get started.

Stream Circle meets…

…and we would love for you to join us!

The inner peace, joy, wisdom, and meaning that meditators and reiki practitioners have been uncovering for generations from the inside out, are waiting for you, too, as you explore and develop your inner practice. Practicing together can help you enter this reality more swiftly and fully, in every moment. (The energy of Stream Circle is like a positive “vortex,” helping us all deepen and arrive into our whole, real lives, more easily than we could do alone!)

Our weekly “Meditation Group” is hosted by our co-teacher Dainei Tracy, an inspiring and grounded guide to meditation and inner life, with over four decades of experience and insight to draw on in supporting your personal path and discovery. Recent students have called her “magical,” “a warm and golden person,” and “just the best thing ever!” You can read more about Dainei and her work right here. She’s in the final stage of publishing her first book (an experiential taste of liberation, written as a poetic legend!).

Mary Hartley, our founding teacher, hosts our (new!) “Stream Reiki” sessions, plus “Office Hours” on Saturdays. It’s her voice you’ll hear in the “Quickstart Guide to Zen Meditation” on your Stream Circle members’ page, as you’re beginning and developing your practice.

Membership is $111/month (and you receive one month free every cycle, if you subscribe for 6 months at a time). You can cancel your membership any time.

(Please note that we offer full and partial scholarships to Stream Circle and encourage you to apply. No one is turned away for lack of funds.)
