About Me

Hello friends! I’m a content creator and cultural programmer who has been studying and practicing meditation since 1998, primarily with Theravada Buddhist teachers in the United States. I’ve attended training courses and residential retreats with Ajahn Khemasanto, Amma Thanasanti, Leigh Brasington, Santikaro, Tara Brach, and Jack Kornfield. From 2011-2014, I lived part-time in Dharamshala, India where I worked as a researcher/translator in the Tibetan community-in-exile. This led to the honour of serving as a lead organizer for His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s visit to Vancouver, BC in 2014.

I’m offering this course as part of my practicum training in the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program (MMTCP), a two-year, secular program led by Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach.
