What do I teach?

I teach drawing from the Buddhist lineages of Theravada, Vajrayana, Zen, Dzogchen, and Unified Mindfulness, a secular adaptation designed and refined by Shinzen Young, who encouraged me to teach.

My path has been focused on insight within a Buddhist context: awakening. Supporting you in the same in a pragmatic manner is my motivation for teaching.

If for whatever reason we don't fit or I know someone I believe will be able to help you better than I can, I'll be delighted to refer you out to trusted friends, my own teachers, and respected colleagues.

I can also provide help in discerning appropriate intensive retreat options, both short and long-term.

What’s the process?

Beginning, it’s clarifying to identify what your aspirations are. On that basis we can discern which methods may best accomplish them. Together we can chart a course, and as time and practice go on adjust to your interests, opportunities, and necessity.

In early sessions there will probably be more to discuss. As and if we see more of each other more of our time will likely be devoted to interactive, real-time guidance.

As new territory comes up for you in practice and life, we may have more to talk about again, and your aspirations may change.

Everything is a response to context, but that's the rhythm.

What’s the cost?

In gratitude for all the freely offered instruction, hospitality, and kindness I’ve received along the Way I’ve chosen to teach meditation likewise on a dāna (donations) basis.

I invite you to donate according to your means to support my teaching, training, and livelihood.
