Nicole Cottrell
Founder & Lead Teacher
My name is Nicole and I am the Founder and Lead Teacher of Ananda.
I am a certified meditation teacher and theta healer with over twenty years of meditation practice. I have studied under four incredible teachers, and have immersed myself in both the science and the spiritual traditions and teachings of many religions and practices including Buddhism, Hinduism, Hermetic philosophy, Shamanism, and various indigenous traditions from around the world. I love the wisdom within each of them and am grateful for the gems I have found within all of them. But I feel in my heart that I am none of them, but all of them at the same time.
Ananda is a culmination of my life's learnings, a blend of profound esoteric wisdom, soul exploration, and an unwavering commitment to meditation.
Ananda is for those wanting to start a meditation practice, get help with their meditation practice, and for those wishing to delve deeper into the realms of meditation. It is also for those wanting to harness and experience the extraordinary power of group meditation - the profound resonance that arises when hearts synchronize in collective meditation and intention enabling us to tap into the extraordinary human capacity for connection, healing, and creating our reality.
I am honored to extend a hand to fellow travelers, those treading the path to peace, love, non-judgment, and awakening.
