Guiding Teacher
Patricia Johnson is a Licensed Psychotherapist who has been practicing for over 30 years. She is a Certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher through the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley. She has been practicing and studying meditation and eastern psychology for over 20 years. Also, a certified Life Strategist through the Life Balance Institute, Patricia has taught classes and workshops at Multiversity and Kripalu. Her guiding teachers have been Jack Kornfield, Tara Brach, Kevin Griffin, and her primary mentor Phillip Moffitt.
As a graduate of the Integrative Study and Practice Program through the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies Patricia encourages those she teaches and works with to bring the Dharma alive. Through Vipassana or Insight meditation we learn to see things the way they are. We disentangle from the story telling mind and inner narratives and find deep acceptance of the 10,000 joys and 10,000 sorrows of life. We gain insight into suffering and it's causes, impermanence, and the interwoven interdependence of all of life.
Patricia has studied and sat retreats with Buddhist monks in the Thervada tradition both in Sri Lanka and in the states. Her main monastic teachers have been from the Thai Forrest Tradition.

The Elements In the Body
The Elements In the Body
We are nature and comprised of the elements- Earth, Fire, Air, Water.
This class will help students bring a mindful awareness to the felt sense of each of these elements in the body helping to deepen concentration and lessen attachment to the ego identification. We come to know Movement and Stillness and the Importance of each. The practices in this series can help to retrain the nervous system.
