Meditation can be challenging, whether you are a total beginner or an experienced meditator. This meditation podcast guides you towards peacefulness and clarity. Born from Midwestern sensibility, it does not take itself too seriously. Slow down, settle in, and experience the wholesome effects of guided meditation that is pretty good.

"Do you think peace will come some other place than here?
Some other time than Now?
In some other heart than yours?

Peace is this moment without judgment.
That is all."
—Dorothy Hunt
