Meditation is the practice of
coming home to ourselves
in every moment, exactly as we are
In the times that we are in, it’s easy to become overwhelmed and confused. Many people suffer from stress, anxiety and depression and don’t know where to turn for help. But, thankfully, we are not alone in the search for relief.
Many of the great spiritual traditions teach us that truth, comfort and refuge are here, ready to be realized and lived. We can learn to align with our purpose and express our true nature, in a way that is free and relaxed. I believe we are capable of meeting the immensity of our experience: all of the joy, and the suffering too, with sincere and loving awareness. Friends, teachers and being in the company of true people help tremendously.
For around 15 years, I have been absorbed in different kinds of stillness and embodiment practices, as a student of Zen Buddhism, Daoism, and Yoga. My most important teachers in these wisdom traditions include Diane Musho Hamilton, Cheng Yen, Jeffrey Yuen, and Suzanne Faith Slocum-Gori.
My approach:
-
- Offers space for people to become intimate with their experience while softening the grip of identification.
- Emphasizes the importance of surrender; this humility is good for our healing and for our wellbeing.
- Embraces practices and philosophies that bring us back into a sense of balance, ease, and open-heartedness.
- Hones your perceptions, to cultivate deep self-trust and a willingness to let go of old stories and habits.
- Gives you full permission to love yourselves and others as we truly are, to feel everything fully, and be truly alive.
