Learning meditation techniques from Zoë is like practicing with a spiritual ninja: just as your mind throws up a new resistance or distraction, Zoë is there, leaping over or slicing through it, and showing you the way to the truth.
I’ve been meditating for 15 years, and I’ve had the incredible fortune of practicing with some world-renowned teachers. Zoë is among them. She takes spiritual teachings that are thousands of years old and makes them understandable and accessible to those of us living a full, modern life right now. Zoë’s unique way of being inspires me to see things with fresh eyes: she is so fully alive in this crazy, beautiful, stressful, amazing, human life, and she can see the “spiritual teachings” everywhere, in every ordinary thing. Her clear authenticity and deep compassion come from being present through her own experiences--she has faced her own darkness and embraced her own joy, and her life is her practice. Don’t let her sweet smile and easy laugh fool you: this woman is a master and a force to be reckoned with, and she will call forth that power and presence from within you.

"Meditation, and techniques associated with meditation, have been massive in helping me overcome my anxiety and negative self-talk— I’ve learned to observe my thoughts without letting them drag me down,and over time, how I feel about myself has changed. Zoë brings a whole new paradigm to the table in this department, and showed me things I’d never experienced before. She’s firmly grounded in traditional practice, and has a historical understanding that boggled my mind, but she’s also an incredibly creative thinker— so good at coming up with narratives, games and insights that help me to let go and find peace in the moment or to pay attention to my habits of thinking.
Our modern world is breakneck-paced, and we’re inundated with information and ideas constantly. Our lives are very full. Zoë knows this, and has a ever-evolving grasp of the goals of meditative practice— she’s not just about rules, she’s about the real results of practice, and can troubleshoot all those modern problems on the spot. Her meditative practice is truly Wild— not an artificial set of controlled habits but a dynamic whole-life perspective that swallows up turmoil and leaves peace in its wake."

A few years ago, I struggled deeply with addiction to various chemicals and behaviors: drugs, alcohol, work, food, drama. I was desperately unhappy, and my life was a mess. The foundation of not only my recovery from addiction, depression, and anxiety but also my success in sobriety and living a purpose-full, happy, healthy life is this: Meditation. That's it. It's the core, the beginning, the little seedling from which all things grew. Take it away and the rest crumbles. I do it on a daily basis...as if my life depends on it. For so long, I told myself I wasn't cut out for it, I was too anxious, too impatient, too Type A. The truth that I can so clearly see on this side of it is that the more you feel you aren't cut out to meditate, the more you need it. It's not about how "cut out for it" you are, it's about having the will to change your life, and finding the right teacher. Zoë is the right teacher.

As someone who has been very active in spirituality and meditation for several years I can say without a doubt that Zoë Wild has a gift. I have experienced many meditation teachers and there is something truly special about Zoë. Her presence, softness, and own way of being ignites something within those around her to remember the quiet and still parts of themselves effortlessly. Each and every meditation I participated in with Zoë was powerful and I continue to listen to meditations she's created over and over again. It seems she knows just way to say to quiet the mind and I often surprised myself at how quickly I was able to drop in to my truth. She is one of the most powerful teachers, healers and coaches I know and all those who get to experience her work are left with gifts to last a lifetime.

Zoë is the Real. The word, meditation, has become fearful for many people to take on as a practice because many teachers make it out to be so complex. There is nothing complex about meditation. It's the act of connecting to yourself (OK, so maybe that seems complex). However, the complexity that most people think of as meditation is that you have to DO it in a specific way (legs in impossible positions, mantras, fingers touching other fingers just so, clearing your mind). As a woman who has taught and practiced meditation for a very long time, I will tell you this... it's not what they say it is.
So I say again... Zoë is the Real. She will guide you in the ways that allow meditation to become a practice that is uniquely yours. Maybe you dance, maybe you sit, maybe you scream, maybe you fall asleep. Under her guidance, you will find the best meditation for you. Zoë has a gift of understanding people and sharing her understanding of YOU in such a beautifully wild and true way. I am proud to call her a siStar.

I was definitely one of those people that thought meditation looked a certain way and, being the rebel that I am, I looked the OTHER way, which was basically anywhere except towards meditation. Yet I would do things like go for walks or go on hikes and feel completely at peace and connected with the world and super inspired for whatever it was that I was creating at the time. Alternately I would feel like I worked through a bunch of pain and hurt without actually 'working' on anything. Was not until much much later in life that I realized meditation took the guise of numerous forms, one of them being WALKING! Novel concept to me! So stoked that Zoë is paving the way for us all to realize the five million benefits to doing meditation your way, the way that works for you. She is the perfect person to turn it all upside on its head to help you more easily connect to the beauty and simplicity and power of a practice as old as time.

Zoë embodies an authentic devotion to awakening that is rare in the world. She has a clear understanding of both traditional spiritual forms, such as the Buddhist teachings on liberation as well as the subtle psychological nuances of the Western mind and heart. I highly recommend her as a wise and compassionate guide on your journey.

Zoe's guided meditations are mesmerizing. She has a direct downline from the divine! I've been blessed to learn so much from Zoë and can't wait to learn so much more in her new courses!

Meditation is like Hawaii, it is more amazing and more magical than everyone says it is, but you still have to go there to experience it for yourself. In reality the question "why meditate?" is important for people at all stages of development. Not seeking after rewards in life creates the contentment necessary for peace of mind, which is a result of dedicated practice. As long as I have known Zoë (about 7 years) she has been diligent and focused on her path and her teaching skills. She is a very keen, kind, and expedient teacher. Besides her unique and super fun (real) name, Zoë is remarkably adaptable. She meets people with a fresh perspective and a kind eye that sees appropriate solutions.

Meditation always seemed like a waste of time for me, that’s until I actually tried it. Meditation is life changing, it has increased my creativity 3 fold easily and is integral to the success of my business. Zoë shines a different light on meditation that struck a chord with me, she is not the typical airy and flaky meditation guru, Zoë is passionate and fierce in that way you really deep down know that YOU want to be. I love working with this lady.

What sets Zoë apart is her ability to listen deeply, and to know truly the answer that you need. I am able to take advice from her because she will not provide me with template or cliché teachings. I have found that she deeply listens to my exact need and struggle, and gives me only that which I need in the moment and that which I am able to understand and receive in the moment. I found her communication of wisdom to be exceptional in its customization and depth. I find that other meditation classes/mentors/teachers do not connect or listen deeply enough – and it may take many sessions to get deep into the real work and issues. With Zoë, I found efficiency and efficacy – and this is true with any small interaction I have with her even after classes. It leaves me fed for a long time with a lot to chew on and to grow from. Even one question from her can send me into profound inquiry – a guide that knows how to get me to inquire deeper within myself -- I am so amazed at her ability to do so!!
I find that I am becoming untangled, walking through and out of discomfort, staying present in ways I did not realize I needed to before. I am so excited about witnessing my own transformation each day – and I notice the instant impacts of my being on those who I interact with as well. As an economist, I’d say there are major “positive externalities” and “increasing returns to scale” happening here!!! And Zoe is the “experience good” :-) Execution towards solving any issue has now become easier (leaving me with long-term effects!!) because the problem and the tools for navigation have been so simply explained and made.

I worked with Zoe as a life and meditation coach for a number of months and saw immediate results in my life. She understands how to gently guide the seeker into new areas of the self. These areas are often difficult to enter because one may have spent a life-time avoiding them. These "internal rooms", as I call them, contain the secrets of purpose and fulfillment. Zoe is more than an encouraging, loving presence, she is also a highly skilled teacher who sets an example of curiosity and courage. Her specific meditation techniques showed me how to move through deep fear, how to stand quietly and with calm in the midst of powerful emotional storms and how to access my intuitive treasures. I'm really grateful for my time with Zoe. What I learned has stood me in good stead in both my personal relationships and professional endeavors.
