A community of practitioners and teachers
A place to belong before you're ready to commit
Banyan Commons is where your practice finds company. Live guided meditation five days a week, a new four-week teaching series every month, and a growing library of meditations — for less than the cost of a single class.
Cancel any time. No commitment required.
What Banyan Commons is
Community is the practice
Most meditation apps are designed to be used alone. Banyan Commons is the opposite — a place where practitioners gather around shared themes, shared teachers, and a shared commitment to growing.
Every weekday, a Banyan teacher guides a live meditation you can simply drop into. Each month, the whole community moves through a four-week teaching series together — the same series we offer to the public for $80, included in your membership. And everything is recorded, so the practice is there when you are.
You don't have to do anything on a fixed schedule. But when you show up, you'll find people who are with you.

A New Teaching Series Every Month
Four-week live series on a single theme — attachment, the four foundations, working with difficulty. Sold separately for $80. Included for members.

Everything Included
What $20 a month gets you
Not a watered-down trial. A real practice community, with real teachers. Do the math and it barely makes sense — which is the point. Practice should be within reach.
Live meditations — every weekday
A fresh live guided practice five days a week. Breath awareness, loving-kindness, body scan, visualization — varied enough to keep you growing, consistent enough to build a real habit.
250+ live sessions a year. At even $10 a class, that's $2,500 of live practice.
Rotating dharma series
Each month, a Banyan teacher leads a four-week live series on one theme. Non-members pay $80 per series. Members are simply in.
12 series a year — nearly $1,000 of live teaching, included.
Meditation library
Every session is added to your library and stays there. Browse by theme, teacher, or length.
Hundreds of hours to return to, any time.
The people who guide you
Teachers who walk the path with you
Our mentors don't just teach mindfulness — they practice it, live it, and bring decades of embodied wisdom to every session. They get to know you. They notice what you need. They're with you for the long journey.

What members say
People come to Banyan for different reasons. What keeps them is the same thing: they feel less alone in their practice.
"I love my community. They are warm and supportive, especially when I feel most vulnerable. I have shared things with them in this space that I otherwise would not share with others."
Aishwarya

"I don't have anyone else in my world that I interact with on a regular basis that practices. Hearing how others incorporate mindfulness into their daily life is inspiring. I look forward to meeting each week."
Cameron

"Banyan helped me sustain my practice by remaining motivated to meditate daily. Increased my self-awareness. The group practices are a gift, a precious moment that has become necessary to my life."

"Banyan gives me a sense of not being alone, finding like minded souls, being guided by talented teachers."

The Math
Simple, honest pricing
One series costs $80. Membership costs $20.
Each of our four-week teaching series is open to the public for $80 — and it's worth it: four live sessions with an experienced teacher, recordings included. Commons members get every series, all year, plus live meditation every weekday, plus the full library — for $20 a month.
We price it this way on purpose. A steady practice shouldn't depend on a big check. It should depend on showing up.

mentorship groups
Ready for something deeper?
Commons is a beautiful place to begin. But for many people, the most meaningful change comes from something more sustained — a weekly group, a teacher who knows your practice, and real accountability over time. That's what our mentorship groups are for.
A weekly live session with a dedicated teacher and a small group of fellow practitioners. Ninety minutes of guided meditation, personal check-ins, and real teaching — every week, the same people, the same teacher.
Your teacher gets to know you. They notice what you need. They're with you for the long journey, not just the good sessions. It's the kind of practice that actually changes how you live.
No experience required. Beginners are welcome.
