Private Meditation Instruction

I offer one-on-one guidance for practitioners who want personalized support with their meditation practice. Sessions can cover:

• Getting started with insight meditation
• Working with difficult mind states or emotions
• Deepening concentration and awareness
• Integrating practice into daily life
• Preparing for intensive retreat

Private sessions are available in person (Bay Area) or via video call. Sliding scale fees available.
