      <image:title>Guided Meditations - Guided Meditations</image:title>
      <image:caption>Spiritual (adj.) c. 1200, from Medieval Latin spiritus, "of or pertaining to breath, breathing, wind, or air”. My guided meditations are an invitation to a very simple insight: To resist the breath is to resist life, and to flow with the breath is to tap into our highest potential. My style is relatable to a wide audience, grounded in playfulness, and always rooted in the pursuit of equanimity. I hope you’ll enjoy this small sampling of my quest to help the world take a deep breath…</image:caption>

      <image:title>About - But you can just call me Nate.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I’m a mindfulness meditation teacher, plant medicine guide, and builder of intentional communities. As a wellness programming specialist, I’ve hosted interactive classes and retreats for world-class companies such as Google, Twitter, Palantir, Wix, Kraft Heinz, and the Omega Institute. Since 2016, I’ve also created content for some groovy meditation apps, including Calm, Wellness Coach, Simple Habit, and Insight Timer. My mission is simple: to leave a legacy of human connection. With music and movement, nature and breath as our allies, I hope you’ll join me in this sublime and ambitious journey to open our hearts, sing our songs, and dance this wild dance of life.</image:caption>
