Welcome to Your Life is a Garden

This website grew out of a group of friends dedicated to practicing wellbeing who began wanting to spread that sense of wellbeing.

What do we mean by practice? It can be

Practice seeing your own mind.
Practice tending it: knowing the weeds, refraining from watering them, and instead watering something more wholesome.
Practice coming out of painful, stuck states and into freer ones.
Practice joy, gratitude, and kindness, on purpose.
Practice being a real friend to yourself and the people around you.
Practice returning you attention to what you care about.

You’ll see the word practice a lot around here. That’s on purpose, because practice is the whole thing.

This site is not a philosophy site, and it’s not a place to seek simple reassurance. There’s a place for those things, but that’s not the main focus of this website. It’s a practice group. We’re here to actually see the mind and make a wholesome change, to grow out of what hurts, not get comfortable sitting in it. We’re kind to each other, but kindness here means helping each other move through compassionate means, not encouraging painful old habits.

We invite you to join us here at this website in learning to grow, and not grow just anything, but grow seeds worth having.

Feel free to join our community and get to know other users. You’ll find people from every walk of life here, whether they’re young and old, students and working adults, brand-new and long in the practice, the steady and the very-much-not.

Glad to have you here.

So, what would you like to grow with us today?
