BEfore Everything
You've bookmarked the articles. You know you need a practice — you just haven't found one that sticks. BEfore Everything is a six-week live group course, kept small — up to ten people — that gives you the structure, the tools, and the community to finally build a mindfulness practice that fits your real life.
“You don’t need to find more time. You need a practice that fits the time you have.”
The thing that
actually works
BEfore Everything is a guided, group-based mindfulness course designed for people who know they need a practice — but haven’t been able to build one alone.
Over six weeks, you’ll join a small cohort on live Zoom sessions, learn practical stress-management and nervous-system regulation tools, and receive daily prompts and guidance to weave practice into your real days. The curriculum is structured enough to create real momentum, flexible enough to fit around your actual schedule, and grounded in evidence — not trends.
And though every tool is practical and science-backed, the deeper work is quieter: six weeks of gently clearing the noise until you can hear yourself again. Most people arrive wanting to manage stress better — and leave with something they didn’t expect: a steadier, clearer sense of who they are underneath it all.
This is not a silent retreat or a self-paced app. It’s a real practice, built with real people, at a pace you can actually keep.

Everything you need to begin
Weekly live sessions
Six live group sessions on Zoom with a trained BEtime instructor or Carla — guided and interactive, never a lecture.
Daily prompts & guidance
A short prompt or practice for the days between sessions — a few mindful minutes that keep momentum without depending on willpower.
A small, real cohort
Kept to around ten. Intimate, not anonymous — the same faces each week, a community that gets it.
Replays & a workbook
Can’t make one live? Catch the replay. A light workbook keeps every tool in one place.
Beginner-friendly, always
No experience needed. Every tool is taught from the ground up, at a human pace.
A practice that outlasts it
Week six builds your forward plan, so the practice stays long after the course ends.

Meditation for the People
BEfore Everything is led by BEtime’s trained instructors and founded by Carla Hammond — a pioneering New York City mobile meditation company that brings immersive, multi-sensory mindfulness to people where they are. The same approach that’s reached teams at Johnson & Johnson, Netflix, Morgan Stanley, and Lululemon, now in a small online room built for you.
Secular, practical, and welcoming to complete beginners — “meditation for the people” means exactly that.
