Unfortunately low registration has led us to cancel this retreat – for now. We plan to host more events like this in future for young adults, and hope that you will stay tuned to our website or email list and join us again. Meanwhile, many young adults join us for our regular Wednesday night sit, and for our other classes and retreats, and it would be lovely to see you there, too!

She is a cofounder and lead teacher of Inward Bound Mindfulness Education (iBme), a nonprofit organization bringing in-depth mindfulness training to youth.

Her published works range from the chapter ‘Ordinary Awakening’ in Blue Jean Buddha to Conflict Resolution of the Boruca Hydro-Energy Project: Renewable Energy Production in Costa Rica. She combined these areas of passion in an article in the Shambhala Sun, Bodhi Trees, about the potential of Buddhist practice to heal our relationship with the natural world.
