Practicing Insight offers two complementary pathways integrating contemplative practice, embodied awareness, and compassionate inquiry to support greater clarity, resilience & well-being.
Mindfulness practice rooted in authentic contemplative tradition.
Mindfulness is not learned solely through information or technique.
It is cultivated through practice, inquiry and dialogue.
While videos, apps and self-paced courses can be a valuable introduction to mindfulness, much of the deepest learning occurs when practitioners bring their lived experience into the room - exploring challenges, receiving individualized guidance, and discovering how mindfulness uniquely unfolds in their own lives.
This is why courses, workshops and retreats offered by Practicing Insight,
whether through Insight Meditation Scottsdale or Solution Mindfulness, are taught live, and emphasize experiential learning, inquiry and relationally engaged practice.
Five principles shape every course and retreat:
Ancient Wisdom for Modern Life
Practice Over Theory
Live, Relational Learning
Translating Formal Practices For Daily Life Realities
Embodied & Trauma-Informed

About Genevieve
My approach to mindfulness is rooted in the Insight Meditation tradition and informed by many years of dedicated practice, study, and teaching. Alongside extensive contemplative training, my background in health education, psychology, and trauma-informed practice has shaped an approach that is experiential, relational, creative, and grounded in everyday life. I believe meaningful learning unfolds in environments that are deeply human and responsive to the uniqueness of each individual and group.
My passion for mindfulness and health education was shaped by a lifelong curiosity about the nature of existence and by growing up with chronic illness. Together, these led me toward contemplative practice and a deep interest in our capacity for healing. I remain continually inspired by the transformative nature of Insight practice and its potential to touch many dimensions of human experience.
