About

My name is Nate Elliott. I’m both a tall ship sailor and a certified mindfulness teacher.

If you’ve ever found meditation too serious or intimidating, I can help. I make mindfulness more accessible by cutting through the dogma, focusing on the basics, and helping you find the practice that works best for you.

I completed Lodro Rinzler’s five-month Buddhist immersion and teacher training program in June 2021. I’ve also studied other disciplines including Mindful Leader’s Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction course and loving-kindness teacher training with Adreanna Limbach and Lodro Rinzler.

As a sailor I’ve logged more than 15,000 nautical miles on tall ships like SV Tenacious and STS Lord Nelson. I’ve completed two Atlantic crossings, a Pacific passage, and sailed through both the Arctic Circle and the Bermuda Triangle.

“Warm, funny, and most of all relatable, Nate is not only well-trained and well-practiced — he’s also able to make meditation accessible to newbies and skeptics.”
– Adreanna Limbach, author of Tea and Cake with Demons: A Buddhist Guide to Feeling Worthy

”Nate draws upon traditional Buddhist teachings and years of personal practice to bring mindfulness to life in a very real way. I love his witty, no nonsense approach.”
– Gaëtane Coopmans, founder of Hooray Heartspace
