“Do you make
regular visits to yourself?”
Rumi
Mindfulness is about coming home to this very moment. It helps us slow down and allows us to be present to our lives. Mindfulness teaches us to identify how we have become entangled by our thoughts and conditioning. It empowers us to make choices in this moment and in the next. Mindfulness allows us to cultivate the appropriate response to whatever comes our way.
In addition to my private practice, I offer spiritual mentorship for individuals and groups seeking to deepen their meditation practice. Drawing on my decades of Buddhist practice and teaching, I offer space to bring questions about practice, such as working with obstacles and exploring how wisdom and compassion can guide everyday life.
Spiritual Mentorship is not psychotherapy, nor is meant to be a substitute for mental health treatment.
My teaching began in 2001 at Spirit Rock in working with teens. I currently teach a weekly drop-in class for women and various daylongs at Spirit Rock. I also teach in Boulder, Denver and the Drala Center in Northern Colorado. For years, I was a member of the Spirit Rock Family Council and Teen Council. I was the Staff Dharma Teacher at Spirit Rock for a number of years, and I am a graduate of the multi-year Spirit Rock Community Dharma Leaders Training Program.
