I'm completing a two-year Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Training with Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield, studying what the contemplative traditions call the "two wings" of awakening: awareness and compassion.

My teaching style is simple. I try to create the feeling of sitting with a friend. No jargon, no performance. Just honest attention to what's happening right now, and a willingness to be with whatever shows up.
