Hi, I'm Jason. I'm a musician, a dancer, a music editor, and notably, a long-time mindfulness meditator and sometimes teacher. I created this website to provide resources for anyone wishing to use mindfulness to live a more fulfilling life. I'm not actively updating the site right now, because I've redirected energy to releasing music (my artist name is RYTERBAND - link here, if you're curious). That said, the site will stay up, and I'm still reachable through the contact form. Enjoy!
Testimonials
"Jason Ryterband lives the Dharma. The wisdom of his own deep practice is evident in both the way he teaches and his presence off the cushion. I am grateful to call him a colleague and friend and to be able to learn from him daily as a fellow traveller on the path."
—JB, MFT Intern & Meditation Mentor | Venice, CA"As a relative beginner to meditation, working with Jason has been invaluable in terms of learning new techniques and being able to benefit from them right away. His insights into the scientific and psychological basis of our emotional states have allowed me to gain a unique and useful perspective into the workings of my mind and emotions. He radiates warmth and understanding and I look forward to attending his sessions every week."
—TD, Technology Consultant | Santa Monica, CA"Jason's dedication to his own practice allows him to be fully present and connected as a facilitator. But it's his generosity and kindness that set him apart. He has offered me consistent support, checking in and remembering the details of my challenges and obstacles, celebrating my break-throughs, and enthusiastically noting my insights. I am fortunate to know Jason and wholeheartedly recommend working with him."
—DT, Social Media Entrepreneur | Venice, CA"Jason is extraordinary. He is equipped with a deep reservoir of knowledge about mindfulness, meditation and the emotional landscape we walk upon. But what makes Jason unique as a mindfulness facilitator and mentor is the linkage of attachment theory and neuroscience, heart and mind, into his teachings. Throughout the years I have known Jason, I have consistently witnessed him embodying the Dharma in the way he meets and leads in the world. "
—GZ, LCSW | Los Angeles, CA"Jason is a wonderful meditation teacher, guide, and friend. His psychological understanding of mindfulness makes his classes accessible to everyone, both new and seasoned, and his ability to connect personally and authentically with students makes his classes a lot of fun."
—EE, MFT | Los Angeles, CA"Jason's mentorship has been instrumental to maintaining and deepening my daily meditation practice. His insights are fresh and transformative."
—LK, Clinical Psychology Graduate Student | Tucson, AZ"Jason has a unique combination of knowledge and application. It is a rare and wonderful thing to find a practitioner and mentor with the compassion and skills to support people with both classical mindfulness meditations and coaching informed by attachment theory. This wonderful soul and humble mentor has supported me numerous times in ways that helped me access more freedom and connection with myself and my partner."
