12-Day Mini Courses: Small Daily Practices. Lasting Change.
Each 12-day course is designed to help you explore one aspect of mindfulness in greater depth through short teachings and guided meditations. Whether you're looking to reduce stress, sleep better, cultivate gratitude, or strengthen self-compassion and self-care, these courses make it easy to build skills you can carry into everyday life.
What to Expect ⭐
Go beyond simply learning about mindfulness—experience it.
Each 12-day course combines short teachings and guided meditations to help you cultivate specific qualities of mind and heart. Rather than simply understanding mindfulness intellectually, you'll develop it through direct experience, one day at a time.
Daily Teaching + Guided Meditation
Each day includes a short video teaching followed by a guided meditation, helping you gradually develop the skills and qualities explored throughout the course.
Downloadable Audio for Every Session
Every lesson includes two downloadable MP3s:
- Teaching + Guided Meditation
- Guided Meditation Only
Practice whenever and wherever it works best for you.
Learn at Your Own Pace
Start whenever you're ready and move through the course at a pace that fits your life. Complete the journey in 12 consecutive days or return whenever you need a little extra support.
Guided by Michelle
Michelle personally teaches every lesson and guides every meditation, sharing practical mindfulness skills you can immediately apply to everyday life.
Lifetime Access

Your Path to a More Mindful Life
Over the past 25 years, I've had the privilege of helping thousands of people discover that mindfulness isn't about escaping life—it's about learning how to meet life with greater presence, steadiness, and heart.
I've poured the teachings, practices, and insights that have made the greatest difference into these 12-day courses. My hope is that they help you build a meditation practice that supports you not only during life's easiest moments, but especially during the difficult ones.
Whether you're hoping to reduce stress, sleep better, navigate anxiety, cultivate gratitude, or simply feel more at home in your own life, I hope you'll find a course that speaks to you.
Through mindfulness, you'll begin to cultivate:
✔ Greater calm during stressful moments
✔ Improved focus and mental clarity
✔ More resilience when life is difficult
✔ A deeper sense of balance and well-being
I look forward to practicing with you.
With love,
Michelle DuVal, MA
