The home base of Monterey Bay Meditation Studio is located on the unceded hunting, dwelling and ceremonial grounds of the Ohlone-Rumsen people. The leadership team of MBMS seeks to honor and support the original inhabitants who stewarded this land for thousands of years, and from whom it was forcibly taken. We aspire to remember and return to a way of relating to the natural world that is rooted in kinship and reciprocity. 

This website was created with consciousness and care by a group of dedicated human beings. No AI has been engaged in its emergence.
