Meditation Hall
Pull up a cushion and learn the basics of meditation here in the Meditation Hall. What is meditation? How do you practice it? We have answers.
The Meditation Hall sections constitute an essential crash course on the meditation technique we use in Camp Calm. They are meant to be completed before you embark on the Wilderness Trail.

The Wilderness Trail
The heart of Camp Calm is a 30-day journey to a daily practice. Once you're ready to embark on the path, gather your gear and meet us at the trailhead!
The Wilderness Trail lessons are usually completed at a rate of one a day, so that you get a lesson and a practice in 30 days in a row. This is a great way to form a solid meditation practice.
If you miss a day, just pick up where you left off -- but try to meditate even on days you don't do a lesson.

Resource Center
When the going gets tough, the tough get help. Come here any time for tools, trail maps, and survival guides.
Resource Center sections are here for you to use whenever you need. If you are having trouble with a particular aspect of practice, or just want some tips, peruse the headings and jump in wherever you like.

The Summit Hike [Bonus Lessons]
Welcome back from the Wilderness Trail, Campers.
Welcome back from the Wilderness Trail, Campers.
The Summit Hike is an optional series of five lessons meant to give you some more techniques and strategies as you transition to a fully self-directed daily practice.
Do the lessons at any pace you like. They are longer and a little more advanced than the Wilderness Trail lessons.
You might want to do one every few days, or once a week, while you continue to practice daily.

The lessons do not prescribe a particular daily practice – that’s up to you now, daily meditator!
