Lisa Pedscalny has been practicing meditation for nearly 20 years and is a graduate of the 2-year Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program, developed and facilitated by Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach in partnership with the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley. She now serves as part of Tara Brach’s personal staff, supporting the sharing of mindfulness and compassion practices with a global community.
 

Lisa is also an avid naturalist, fungi photographer, and passionate advocate for honoring our interdependence with the Earth. She considers the natural world to be among our most brilliant and trustworthy teachers, and believes that when we combine deep mindfulness with time in nature, we open a doorway to profound insight, healing, and belonging.
