The Wayfinder Institute™ fosters human flourishing through art-based mindfulness. We specialize in contemplative aesthetic experiences that ignite personal growth and wellbeing. We offer consulting for arts and wellness institutions and mindful life mentoring for artists and creatives. Our signature Wayfinder Deep Seeing™ method helps participants access inner wisdom and clarity through guided mindful art observation. This insight process is well suited to individual and group contexts, as well as thematic and open- ended explorations, and is supportive of staff and board retreats and collaborative processes.
Welcome artists and creatives! We’re here to help you find and follow your truest path in life and work. When you feel stuck, blocked, stressed or unexpressed, we support you to reconnect with your own inner wisdom so that you get to see your life more clearly, choose your steps more intentionally, express yourself more creatively, and feel more confident and alive. We believe authentic work/life expression makes for a healthier, more beautiful world. Click to learn more about group programs, private sessions, and one-on-one mentorship.
Welcome mindful museums! As art-based mindfulness specialists, we partner to create mindfulness experiences that blend art observation with meditation, movement, breath work, and self-expression to prepare the mind, body, and spirit for deep relaxation and insights.

We strive to create compassionate, authentic, and anti-racist spaces that consider the whole human being, support calm nervous systems, and empower safe exploration of personal questions, important decisions, or areas of challenge.
Through a guided observational process, artworks and our bodies, minds, and hearts become our teachers, amplifying openness, unlocking innate intuition, and guiding the way to discovery and empowerment.
Participants come away with new tools and new awareness, feeling relaxed, revitalized, fulfilled, and on track. You can hear their own words here.
