Things We Like

Staff at The Mindfulness Clinic share their favourite things with you.

Snow Lion Canada: Meditation supplies.

Snow Lion is a meditation supply store at Pape and Danforth. They sell meditation cushions, books, statues and other “spiritual essentials”. We purchase all of our meditation cushions from Snow Lion–they make their own meditation cushions and mats of excellent quality. If you want to purchase a cushion from them, the staff will take the time to make sure you buy the right cushion for your body and needs.

Snow Lion also offers lectures throughout the year in wisdom teachings on topics such as healing, meditation, death and dying and the nature and journey of transformation. All are offered at no cost.
Caversham Books: North America’s largest mental health bookstore.

We order many books from Caversham, a bookstore specializing in books for mental health professionals both in-store and by mail throughout the world.

Caversham is a community of often eccentric but knowledgeable staff and interesting, interested customers. They offer books for a wide range of specialties including, psychoanalysis, psychiatry, psychotherapy, trauma, Jungian analysis and neuroscience.
Buddhist Geeks: Online Community with Magazine and Podcast

We love this site that features podcasts (with transcriptions) of interviews with contemporary Buddhist thinkers and teachers around the world. The comment threads on each blog post are often just as interesting as the entry itself!
Elephant Journal: Your guide to a Mindful Life

Elephant Journal is a guide to yoga, organics, sustainability, genuine spirituality, conscious consumerism, fair fashion, the contemplative arts, and anything that encourages living a good life that also happens to be good for others and our planet.

We like this website for its articles, blogs, videos and interviews which are added on a daily basis.
Toronto Body Mind: Toronto’s yoga, meditation and wellness community.

Toronto Body Mind is a great source of information on the meditation and yoga community in Toronto. It has up-to-date educational videos, articles and directory listings, and a collaborative blogging platform for members.
House of Tea: Worldwide-imported loose leaf tea and accessories.

We get all of our tea from House of Tea on Yonge St., just north of Rosedale subway station. Established in 1997, House of Tea is a family owned business run by Marisha and Michael E. Golla. They offer over 280 kinds of loose leaf tea from all over the world. Marisha and Michael are very knowledgeable and incredibly friendly. It’s always a pleasure to visit them.
Jeff Menzies: Handmade gourd, tackhead and minstrel style banjos.

Dr. Kelly enjoys playing the banjo in his spare time, and owns several of Jeff Menzies’ handmade banjos. Jeff’s banjos can be made to any scale length, using a variety of wood and gourd species.

Jeff creates bespoke instruments based on your specifications, and also holds gourd banjo-making workshops throughout the year for those interested in learning about his craft.
The Interdependence Project: a secular and accessible approach to Buddhist meditation

The Interdependence Project brings a secular and highly accessible approach to studying and practicing Buddhist meditation, psychology, and philosophy. We like their blog and podcast. If you’re in New York, they also offer courses in meditation and Buddhist studies.

This site is dedicated to preserving and sharing Theravada Buddhism teachings. This website makes them freely available for download or streaming. New recordings are added continuously from contemporary dharma teachers.
