Mindfulness Practice

Thursday, May 7, 2020
8:30 AM – 9:00 AM MDT

I’m a mother, lover of nature, gardener, yoga practitioner, and mindfulness meditation teacher. I have been meditating for 27 years. I was inspired to learn meditation after going through a period of time dealing with some challenges and life changes, which left me feeling anxious and at times ungrounded. I first learned Transcendental meditation and gradually felt a sense of calm, clarity, and ease in my daily life. During the next 23 years, I attended many retreats and workshops on different forms of meditation and in 2012 started focusing more on Insight meditation.

I am a graduate of the 2-year Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program, an intensive training program of the Awareness Training Institute at the University of California Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center, led by Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield. My core teachers are Jack Kornfield, Tara Brach, and Rick Hanson. Although, I draw on the great knowledge of many other teachers today- Jon Kabat-Zinn, Sharon Salzberg, Kristin Neff, Joseph Goldstein, and Dr. Daniel Siegel.

I’m a firm believer that the practice of mindfulness has the potential to bring about a more peaceful coexistence in our world today. Meditation opens the way to a better knowing of our true nature and creates a foundation for thriving throughout life with all its many challenges and beauty.
