Hello and Welcome!

My name is Aleks Slijepcevic. I am a meditation and journaling teacher, currently teaching online classes on Insight Timer – a free mindfulness app – where I also host a number of courses and pre-recorded meditations. I have been fortunate to teach both meditation and yoga classes since 2015 and am a 200-hour certified practitioner.

I am an avid journal writer and published author of The Stories We Tell: How to Start Shifting Your Limiting Beliefs So That You Can Live an Authentic Life.

I am also the host of Soul Sessions, a podcast about mental health and the merging of spiritual practices with the clinical model of wellness. I also love interviewing practitioners who support mental health in unique ways and highlight amazing individuals monthly on the podcast.

For the past decade, I have contributed health and wellness content to a number of platforms, including Medium, Elephant Journal, Elite Daily, and Sivana Spirit, on the topics of yoga in the real world, as well as spirituality and self-development in the age of anxiety and depression. I have regularly contributed to Lifehack, and was the founder of a free online publication for eager creatives, Souhl.

I am passionate about authenticity and wholesome living – the kind that integrates all nuances and complexities of being a human, creating space for all lived experiences and realities.

My love language are words and writing, and it is how I make sense of my world, as well as my emotions and thoughts. I love sharing this modality with others who are also looking for ways to create meaning in their lives.

I’m an avid hiker, traveler, and book collector. I move around a lot and have learned that putting down roots is equally as important as growing my branches. I’m an immigrant, a refugee, and the product of a resilient heart.

I value rest and revolution, sometimes in the same day; and I love the art of possibility, as well as choosing the path least trodden. You can catch me on a dirt trail or looking up towards the sky, any day.

Thank you so much for being here!
