About us

We are a non-profit organization based in San Diego dedicated to teaching practical meditation techniques for cultivating inner silence and balance within schools and companies. Our simple practices are designed to slow down restless thoughts, guiding one’s self towards a state of thoughtlessness where your own natural energy of peace and calmness can be experienced directly. We offer universal tools for inner peace, accessible to people of all beliefs and backgrounds, ultimately improving focus by quieting the mental chatter.

Free classes

Peace Within Initiative offers free, hour-long meditation sessions to schools, their students and faculty, and any organization prioritizing mental health and stress relief. Through our accessible meditation techniques, your focus gently shifts beyond the constant activity of the mind, emotions, and body, enabling you to tap into a deep sense of inner peace and mental clarity. By connecting with your own natural energy of balance within, you experience a state of thoughtless awareness, where the mind is silent and in the present moment. This process is known as Self Realization.

Our guided sessions introduce you to easy techniques for finding inner calm. We focus on balancing ourselves, observing thoughts without getting involved, and the gentle use of self-affirmations to help us reach a state of calm. Experience greater peace and presence today.
