BJ Mestnik
BJ is a mindfulness guide whose life and work are deeply shaped by time spent outdoors. He has led retreats in the mountains of Colorado and the wilds of Brazil, and brings his background as a ski and snowboard instructor, mountain bike coach, and devoted backpacker, camper, and hiker into the way he teaches meditation. His approach is creative, playful, and intentionally outside the box, rooted in real experience rather than rigid technique.
Nature-based mindfulness has been a source of joy and resilience for BJ during times of suffering, offering a way to feel connected to himself, to others, and to the living world. In his offerings, participants are invited to meet the full range of their emotions, and explore presence with curiosity and courage. Through embodied, nature-centered practices, BJ creates space for people to reconnect with joy, deepen self-trust, and feel more alive and at home within themselves.
He is committed to making this work accessible, and regularly leads mindfulness experiences for underserved schools in Denver and for LGBTQIA+ communities.
