About Community Space
Relation is the essence of everything that exists. —Meister Eckhart
The Community Space at Kalyana Mitta is envisioned as a playful, grounded gathering place for those drawn to deepen meaningful, nourishing relationship to self, to community, and to the more-than-human world. In this virtual space, explore different styles of meditation, join in shared reflection, and participate in experiential nature-based and embodied creative exercises. Engage your senses, emotions, intuition, imagination, and ideas in a collaborative spirit of discovery.
Between gatherings are invitations to simple meditative and nature-based explorations—bringing presence, curiosity and a sense of alive engagement into the everyday. Through engagement with self, community and the living world, attune more intimately to the inner and outer landscapes that shape experience.
No meditation or art experience is required—only a willingness to slow down, be curious and be surprised.

About your facilitator
Hello and welcome—I’m Staci Schaitel. Rooted in the prairies of Saskatchewan, my work at Kalyana Mitta weaves together over two decades of Buddhist study and practice, mindfulness teaching, and creative education. I hold a Master’s degree in East–West Psychology (California Institute of Integral Studies), with a concentration in Asian Contemplative & Trans-cultural Studies and a certificate in Spiritual Counseling.
My background includes training in Shiatsu bodymind therapy, Hakomi mindfulness-based psychotherapy, and a two-year Mindfulness Teacher Training with the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley. Earlier studies at Emily Carr University of Art + Design and years living and working in Seoul, South Korea have shaped my trans-cultural, creative, and contemplative perspective.
My approach integrates Buddhist and Daoist philosophy, integral education principles, eco- and depth psychology, body-based awareness, and playful creative exploration—fostering a sense of deepened connection with self, other, the more-than-human world and the mystery that holds it all.
