Forgiveness sounds lovely, but the process of getting there? Not so much. I've worked deeply to navigate this mental and emotional maze amidst shock and betrayal in the past, and will share the insights that I've found most helpful.

This session will pose some thoughts and questions to begin exploring this huge and and often confusing (but critical!) topic. We'll be meeting at the Lucia Mastrangelo Meeting Room on the second floor of the Watertown library at […]

"I'd like to meditate but my mind never stops." I love hearing this. Because then I share my practice and see shifts happen and jaws drop. These are the same techniques I used to climb my way out of crippling anxiety, depression, agoraphobia, and panic disorder over two decades ago, and I've continued using them […]

I've received a few inquiries about having some sitting-only events, of which this will be the first. Please arrive before 2:15 if possible; we'll ring the bell at 2:20 to begin a one-hour silent meditation session and then have time for our usual Q+A/discussion afterward. **LOCATION**This event will take place in the Charles River Room […]
