Sahaja Soma is for…

Secular Dharma

These teachings and practices are for people of any religious faith or none. A secular approach to Buddhist teachings is like training in mental fitness: it offers us a path for optimizing our mental health and realizing our life’s potential.

Creatives & Entrepreneurs

Artists & creatives who wish to learn meditation and/or cultivate inner resources to prepare for, navigate and integrate Ayahuasca & Soma journeys, as a means for bringing forth more art, creativity and beauty into the world.

Healing Disconnection

Disconnection from ourselves is the core wound at the root of many of our problems, from addiction to anxiety to loneliness. Building the life we want, a life filed with joy and healthy relationships, has to rest on a solid foundation of our relationship with ourselves.

Neither meditation nor psychedelics will magically solve all of our problems, but they can teach us to surf the ups and downs of life more skillfully.

Meditation coaching gives you a reliable sense of path—providing systematic practices that optimize your capacity for healing, growth, and lasting clarity:

  • A Grounded Body: Anchor in somatic stability and intuition, guarding against being swept away by stress, anxiety, and the reactive speed of modern life.

  • An Open Heart: Cultivate warmth and self-compassion to soften inner criticism, reconnect with your innate goodness, and deepen authentic connection with others.

  • A Clear Mind: Polish the mirror of awareness to let go of old cognitive patterns, see through mental clutter, and navigate daily challenges with wisdom and ease.

Meditation can help with…

Healthier Relationships

The quality of our relationships is the most important variable in life satisfaction.

But in order to attract and build the relationships we would like, we need to become more self aware around our relationship with ourselves, who we are attracting, and why.

Aesthetic Appreciation

Both meditation and plant medicines are a process of refinement—not simply of our character but of our aesthetic appreciation.

We’re opening to seeing the world with more awe, wonder and beauty.

Managing ADHD

Today, I am a much more calm, centered and content person thanks to Buddhist teachings, meditation and plant medicines.

I enjoy working with people who have ADHD, as well as other people who identify as “neurodivergent” or neuroatypical.”

Creative Expression

Cut through obstacles to creative output by reconnecting with the sense of eros, or life force, that inspires us to create and to connect.

Hey, I’m Adrian.

I am a meditation teacher and contemplative coach based in the San Francisco Bay Area. My background bridges degrees from Stanford and Brown, an early career in investment banking and education, and over 15 years of dedicated contemplative practice.

I am a graduate of the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Training with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach, and have spent extensive time on silent retreat and deep immersion in the Nondual traditions of Vajrayana Buddhism and Shaiva Shakta Tantra.

Having navigated burnout, career shifts, and personal transitions firsthand—alongside 25 years of working with entheogens for personal growth—I help clients translate timeless contemplative wisdom into practical, grounded tools for modern living.

Working together, you can expect…

Personalized Instruction

Meditation is unique to each individual practitioner. In our sessions, you can expect 1:1 personalized instruction to design a meditation practice based on your strengths, interests and goals

Deep Listening

Compassion, empathy, and guidance all begin with someone deeply listening to what’s present for you in your life and your practice: your fears, concerns, anxieties, aspirations and goals. 

An Open Space

A safe space to ask questions and to receive feedback is something that's critical to learning and progressing on a path yet is missing from most meditation apps and online learning platforms.
