Connect with Lodro in 2026

2026: The Year to Wake Up

This year Lodro’s community, The Basic Goodness Collective, is engaging in a Year to Wake Up.

This isn’t just another “course.” It’s an invitation to join a community dedicating these twelve months to waking up—to your own peace of mind, your essential worth, your capacity for resilience—and to live your life from a meaning that is personal to who you are.

You can sign up for the full Year to Wake Up, the Year plus Mindfulness Teacher Training, or for individual classes that appeal to you.
