In Alphabetical Order


Carol Anderson

 I am a seven year practitioner of meditation with a belief that mindfulness and insight support dharma teachings in everyday life.   Consistent with Shambala teachings, the ground of my practice is a belief in Basic Goodness.  The 16th Karmapa summarized the teachings of the Buddha as "Everything changes".   I am also a life-long musician, performing on violin throughout my youth, and presently playing viola for my own pleasure.  I am a retired special education teacher with an ongoing interest in childhood literacy.


Bill Black

I started yoga to heal my body and progressed to mindfulness and meditation for peace of mind. It is an enjoyable continuing journey that I like to share with others. At the drop-in meetings we all learn something each time.


Sharon Ely    

I was first introduced to mindfulness back in the 70’s when I was in V.I.S.T.A. and read Be Here Now by Ram Das and books by Hermann Hesse, but it wasn’t until 2003 that I took my first meditation class. For several months I went to a weekly practice with a local Buddhist monk but when the class ended, so did my practice. Later, after teaching school for so many years, I was feeling extremely stressed trying to juggle career, family, and studio, never having enough time to feel good about anything and working all the time just to keep up. Luckily I was able to transition to part-time work at school and began taking yoga classes, trying to find a more peaceful way of being, eventually becoming a yoga teacher. After studying yoga and meditation with Meditation teacher Catherine Ibsen for seven years, I began teaching meditation in 2017. 


Louanne Kaye

Meditation and Mindfulness are an important part of my life. I enjoy sharing both with others that have a similar interest or curiosity about either.  Drop In Meditation is a good place to satisfy a curiosity regarding Meditation.


Robin Newlin

One of my fondest childhood memories is sitting with my mother each morning and preparing our thoughts for the day ahead. As an adult I continue to begin each new day with a quiet sitting, following my breath and embracing gratitude for the unfolding day. Meditation has encouraged me to turn directly towards my life and appreciate every moment. I have learned through meditation that the source of genuine happiness, joy, and peace lies within my own heart and not within the changing events of our life. Establishing a positive outlook and mindset on life is a quality that I established as a young girl and I have carried it with me always.
