Self-discovery is an amazing journey, which began for me in childhood. I loved to play in the empty lots that overlooked the Pacific Ocean, chasing butterflies and soaking up the summer sunshine. Life was filled with adventures at school, at home, and at the beach. Formal education was part of what I enjoyed, and it is no surprise that I earned a Masters Degree in Education, and taught in public schools for many years.

I have been teaching meditation at Dharma Center since 1998. Meditation and mindfulness practices are designed to help you awaken to light, and discover your true nature. If you are ready to remember what you already know, come to a class and begin again. Enlightenment is waiting, patiently!

In 1982 I met my spiritual teacher, Rama. In the middle of life, right in the middle of a marriage and family, right inside my life as a school teacher, I stepped into the mysterious world of tantric mysticism. Magical experiences of bliss, power, love and happiness painted my daily landscape. Nighttime Dreams became the most amazing adventures into the mystery school and the secret teachings.

I have written two books, which are available at www.xlibris.com.   Awake in the Dream is a novel based upon my experiences into enlightened awareness. It describes my personal awakening through dreams, meditation, and mystical adventures with my teacher. Meditation: Transform Your Life in 28 Days, A User Friendly Guide to Enlightenment is the second book I have authored. I have used my spiritual name, Samadhi, in recognition of that aspect of my awakening. This book is designed to help you Still Your Mind through the practices of meditation and mindfulness. While it is very useful for beginners, it has multiple layers and will also serve as a tool to help experienced Zen students expand their practice.
