Let's Practice Together with Kimber Simpkins-Nuccio on July 12, 2026
Description
Let’s Practice Together:
Resting in the Radiant Heart
with Kimber Simpkins-Nuccio
Sunday, July 12th from 10:00 - 11:30 am PT (Pacific Time)
Online via Zoom
About the Session:
Offering metta in concentric circles into the world through breath and energy, we’ll start with ourselves and let kindness ripple out in all directions. Resting in this center, you’ll have the opportunity to find ease and groundedness in each moment, being with whatever moves through. Whether radiating metta is a new or familiar practice for you, you can expect to touch into your heart’s capacity to meet the visible and invisible world.
About the Series:
These times call for us to expand our individual and collective capacity to navigate uncertainty, instability, and complexity. By practicing deeply together, we strengthen our ability to meet these challenges with resilience and presence.
Throughout the year, we will gather one Sunday a month online as a community of curious practitioners to explore the timeless wisdom of the Buddhadharma and mindfulness/Insight meditation. In each session, we will cultivate presence, deepen our meditation practice, and engage in shared reflections and inquiry. Together, we cultivate a collective heart-mind-body—a living, interconnected field—spacious enough to hold and transform whatever life brings our way.
Let's Practice Together offers a space for meaningful dialogue—an opportunity to ask questions, explore personal and collective experiences, and learn from one another. We welcome sincere and committed practitioners of all levels and backgrounds to join us on this collective path of discovery and connection.
Sessions will be recorded and shared with all registrants. During the session, practitioners who don't wish to be recorded may offer their questions and reflections in the chat.

Setting the Container:
We request participants attend the whole program to respect the group and the teacher, and ask for your support with creating a sacred container by arriving to the session on time as the zoom room will close at 10:15 am PT.
At Braided Wisdom, we strive to cultivate an online space that supports connection, presence, and collective care. While we invite participants to have their cameras on to help nurture a sense of community, we wholeheartedly honor that there are many reasons someone may choose otherwise. We encourage you to meet yourself where you are, and if any needs arise around this, you’re warmly invited to reach out to us at info@braidedwisdom.org.
Please note, there is a possibility the session may go over 15 minutes. It would be great if you can stay, and we understand if you need leave at 11:30 am PT.
