About Me

I’m a relatable and authentic guide to the transformative power of compassion and love. At my classes and retreats, I teach traditional Buddhist techniques that are accessible and relevant for modern life. I’m a popular meditation teacher and speaker, and the author of Steady, Calm, and Brave: 25 Buddhist Practices of Resilience and Wisdom in a Crisis and Navigating Grief And Loss: 25 Buddhist Practices to Keep Your Heart Open to Yourself and Others, both published by Prometheus Books. As part of the contemporary meditation community, my meditations and writings can be found at Lion’s Roar, Tricycle: The Buddhist Review, Mindful Magazine, the Rubin Museum, and in my newsletter.
