Testimonials

For 6 weeks I spent Sunday mornings with John. Sundays were, and are, sacred to me; Sunday is the only day off that I share with my partner. Time is not trivial, and Sundays are more intentional than the others. Time spent with John on Sundays was always worth it. 

I met John online, that sort of serendipity that you don’t recognize until later on. I was overwhelmed at the time, kicking off a period of transition, willingly [timidly] approaching meaningful change in my professional life for the first time. 

I was looking for something. Something to ease my thoughts, or more-so rein them in. Trying to take ownership of my time [a type of control that I was ill-prepared for] I reached out to John. He had casually reintroduced me to meditation through his Beings Club a couple weeks prior, so i asked him for help diving deeper. Generously, he offered me his time.

He asked me why I was here, what my intentions were, what I hoped to get out of it. I was hoping for that sort of light hearted introspection, someone friendly to casually ask me a few questions I had wanted to ask myself, but not in a therapy type way. John’s a very relaxed and friendly guy, comfortable to open up around. Intentional with his words in a refreshing way.

We started with the traditional seated meditation practice. Walking me through what it is, the intent, what to do, how to sit, etc. The initial goals being: practice daily, be mindful, be intentional, be gentle. Sparing the details, we met every week for 6 weeks, talking about my experiences from the week before. Each week he offered new perspectives, thoughtful conversation regarding the practice, and always suggested a new practice — a fresh way to experience being, throughout daily life.

The concept of engaging with the world intentionally has changed my life. A frame of mind that’s neither better nor worse, just real. It’s both hard as fuck and incredibly easy, confusing and freeing. Crazy concept really, experiencing the world like it’s just the world and you’re just you. Moments, emotions, environments, and situations as they happen. Acceptance.

There’s no such thing as spoilers here. I could outline, word by word, every idea/practice that he walked me through, but it wouldn’t be a brush stroke to the painting that is John’s spiritual friendship. Frankly, I wouldn’t, and didn’t, reach out to anyone other than John for guidance with this practice / experience / what have you. While romantic, and slightly cliche, the individual sharing the idea is often more important than the idea itself.

Manansh S — Beings Club

The people at Beings Club that show up every Sunday are so very special. I didn’t know how fulfilling unstructured, exploratory conversations with internet friends could be. You show up. Do a practice for 15-20 to settle. And go right into conversations after. I have had several experiences of being seen, heard, and held. And I think you might too.
 
It’s worthwhile to come to one session and hang out with all of us! Curiosity connects and helps people show up for each other.

Zak EF — Beings Club

Beings Club felt like an experimental dive into intentional randomness—structured just enough to keep the community vibes alive. As usual, when something new demands my attention, my first instinct was avoidance—one less thing to manage, fewer cycles to commit. But pushing past that initial resistance, I quickly realized the value: genuine encounters with people whose timelines wouldn’t typically intersect with mine. The conversations echoed the unstructured richness of old-school Moroccan souqs, where dialogue goes deeper than the usual transactional exchanges (“What do you do? How long have you lived here?”). If you’re open to a dash of delightful chaos nudging your trajectory into unexpected territory, the beings at Beings Club bring exactly that kind of magic.
Conversations often felt less like typical exchanges and more like collectively untangling complex threads in my own mind—recontextualizing them within the unique perspectives of others. It was fascinating to explore ideas like historical artifacts acting as cultural gravity wells, consciousness as an overloaded operating system needing periodic resets, or the paradox of personal reinvention clashing against entrenched belief systems.

Daniel G — Creative Partnership

Sometimes being creative is a wide open canvas, full of possibilities. The creative process demands opening but at some point the creator needs to narrow it down to something. That something is a reflection of who the artist is, their personal choices, based on xyz, to pull that raw abstract material and make it real.

John helped me with some kind of "acupuncture", understanding the whole scenario and facilitating the creation by pinning key topics that would help the creative material flow to its realization. Or helped me understand what was that I was looking for.

Besides that John also engaged artistically by contributing with his point of view and helping improve/realize the work. 

Both cases demanded availability to listen to what I had to share and to participate in the creative process, either by suggesting potential guidelines (as mentoring) or actually pointing out a direction (as a co-creator).

Laura F — One-to-One

John was super thoughtful throughout our sessions. I often shared with him my struggles in meditating and where my mind would digress to, and it always amazed me how he always managed to say the right things and provide me different perspectives whilst yet being caring and accepting of my comments - even when I did not understand some principles of meditation and he would kindly (and patiently) provide me with his insights.
John has this capacity to make you feel at ease in a place where you feel accepted and guided by someone who sees you and cares to add value to your life. A very insightful meditation teacher who does not hide the fact that he too has his struggles, which against all odds makes you trust him more.

Ana C — Beings Club

Beings Club gave me the chance to talk to people I’d previously only known through the social feed. It let me exchange thoughts about the things we’re all quietly noticing online with the people who actually understand. This felt like the natural next step: a space to slow down, reflect together, and make sense of things out loud. I felt welcomed, seen, and heard.  
I got to share ideas and develop them in conversation with people who were curious and open. It became a personal practice in listening, asking better questions, and getting comfortable with silence, which doesn’t feel awkward when we already know each other. And on a more personal note, it also helped me practice my English in a real, thoughtful way. In the background of it all, Beings Club gently reminded me that not everything needs to be figured out in advance. Some things unfold better when you don’t force the outcome.
One insight that stayed with me is how powerful it is to share unpolished ideas with people who already understand the context. That kind of mutual attention made it easier to let go of control and trust that something meaningful would emerge just by being present.
