Tara Quinn

I'm Tara Quinn, and I write about meditation spaces and products for zensoul.net from Austin, Texas. My path here was through design, not wellness: I was 22, living in a chaotic shared house during my last year of design school, and started thinking seriously about how physical environments affect mental states. I set up a dedicated corner and tried meditating in it. Then I tried the same practice in the common room, surrounded by clutter. The difference was not subtle. I've been a freelance interior designer for three years and have been meditating for six. I have no meditation certification, which I figure is worth saying upfront. I cover the space side of the practice: what to set up, what to skip, what actually makes a difference. Questions about gear or spaces: tara@zensoul.net.
