Wise Caregiving

Wise Caregiving offers contemplative training for people interested in caring for the world. We host several geographically dispersed online communities, mentor students, and train caregivers in the arts of compassionate care. 

Founded by longtime spiritual friends Michael Melancon and Jonathan Prescott, Wise Caregiving draws from their spiritual practice in the zen traditions of Thich Nhat Hanh, Joko Beck, Robert Aitken, and others. They were ordained together by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh in 2005, receiving the Dharma names True Recollection of Radiance and True Recollection of Light. Together with Karla Johnston, Executive Director, they are Wise Caregiving 

In addition to retreats, practice periods, multi-week and day-long programs, we host daily morning meditations online, and weekly hybrid online/in-person meditations in Palm Springs, CA, and Anacortes, WA.
