nico and Devon embody a unique mix of experience, humor, and humility which helped make meditation accessible to me early in my practice. Thanks to their generous guidance and example, I’ve been able to open more fully to the joys and mysteries of life and found a better calm in my day-to-day, too.

It's no exaggeration to say meeting nico changed the course of my life. Taking Psychology of Mindfulness with nico at UW-Madison shifted things for me in an incredibly meaningful way. Of course, the meditation we learned in that class was transformative. But more than that, nico's kind and clear presence, his ability to build community in the classroom, and his genuine caring about my personal and unique experience inspired me to make meditation a big part of my life. And that has made all the difference.
