Sarah Blondin

Sarah Blondin is a Canadian writer and meditation guide whose teaching rests on one idea: that turning towards the heart, rather than away from difficult feelings, is how we come back to ourselves. She began by writing, filming and narrating Live Awake, a series of short reflective films and podcast episodes that each close with a brief guided meditation. Those recordings found a wide audience, and since 2016 she has been one of the most followed teachers on Insight Timer.

Her style is lyrical and personal. She draws on poetry, stories from motherhood and her own inner life, and invites listeners to soften, slow down and meet themselves with compassion. Her book Heart Minded (Sounds True, 2020) gathers these teachings into reflections and practices for living from the heart. She offers two ten-day audio courses (Coming Home to Yourself, then This Deepest Self), shorter recorded workshops, an annual membership with her growing archive, and occasional live online sessions and retreats in British Columbia, where she lives with her husband and two sons.
