Inspired by Thoreau and Emerson, you’ll most likely find Lisa meditating outdoors in the New England woods or on the shores of Walden Pond. A modern mystic and mindful outdoor guide, with a meditation practice spanning nearly thirty years, Lisa credits Sarah McLean and the international Meditation Teacher Academy for launching her teaching career. She graduated from the Academy in 2013, returning as a Course Advisor to mentor 150+ students at the Academy. Among many accolades and certifications, Lisa is also a graduate of the Kripalu School of Mindful Outdoor Leadership, and is in her second year of study with Shinzen Young and Unified Mindfulness, certified as a Level-2 UM Coach. She is also a U.S. Air Force veteran who specializes in Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness and supports people diagnosed with anxiety, depression, and trauma. She offers meditation classes freely for veterans with PTSD, their caretakers, and Gold Star Families. She’s also a board member of Only A Child, a non-profit organization supporting disadvantaged youth in Guatemala; and a former Board Advisor for Project New Hope, a non-profit veterans’ organization. She has a signature Mindful Living Program, which brings mindfulness, breathwork, and happiness to seniors through senior centers.
