Our Story

About StillMind

Founded in 2010, StillMind Meditation Co. began with a simple belief: that everyone deserves access to the transformative power of meditation. What started as a small studio in Portland has grown into a thriving community of coaches and clients dedicated to cultivating peace, presence, and purpose.
