Perfectionism stops here.
This January, we're flipping the script—say goodbye to perfectionism and hello to embracing imperfection.
In this new course, you'll shed the weight of perfection pressure and deprogram shame to create the meditation practice you've always wanted.
In the challenge you'll get:
A daily video with Matthew, Dawn, and/or Cara, your personal meditation teachers, explaining a practice or wisdom bomb.
A daily audio meditation (sometimes two!) that you can use to practice the skill.
Gentle reminders to practice — no beating yourself up when you miss a day.
You can't get this wrong.
Think you’re “bad” at meditation? Welcome to the club, population: many. Ironically, being okay with imperfection paves the way for small steps toward your goals.
Meet your imperfect meditation guides.
Joining you on this journey are Matthew Hepburn, Dawn Mauricio, and Cara Lai, experts in the art of mindful imperfection.
Matthew Hepburn
Matthew is a meditation and dharma teacher with more than a decade of teaching experience and a passion for getting real about what it means to live well.
Dawn Mauricio
Dawn Mauricio's meditations blend a dynamic, playful teaching style with heartfelt wisdom and welcome all backgrounds with open arms.
Cara Lai
Cara Lai spent most of her life trying to figure out how to be happy, or at least avoid total misery, which landed her on a meditation cushion. She brings her lived experiences—as an artist, wilderness guide, and new mom—to her imperfect practice.
Meditation that meets you where you are.
Learn to live in the moment even when you don’t have a moment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Ten Percent Happier?
We're an award-winning meditation app that meets you where you are. It’s easy for meditation to become just another thing on your to-do list that you feel guilty for skipping. We encourage you to find a practice that’s “daily-ish” and find motivation from joy rather than shame. After all - we don’t meditate to get better at meditation, we meditate to show up more fully in our daily lives.
Is the Imperfect Meditation Challenge free?
Yes! You don’t need a paid subscription to access the 14-day free challenge. We always have some free content in the app and while the challenge is going on, this content will be free too!
Do I need to be a Buddhist to participate?
No - you can participate in this challenge and learn how to be happier regardless of your religious affiliation (or lack thereof).
