When I was 44, I experienced a very painful trauma in my life and began seeing a therapist for help. After a few sessions he told me I wasn’t having a mental crisis, I was having a spiritual one and then sent me to the American Buddhist Center. Ever since that day I have met with my teacher (founder of ABC) twice a week (and continue to do so even now) adding many other teachers and teachings. In 2018, while on sabbatical from education, I was blessed to be offered the position of Director of Temple Buddhist Center, as if my whole life had prepared me for this. My commitment is to my practice, the teachings and to my sangha (spiritual community) I invite you to join me on this journey of awakening
