Meet Lauren
My life and spirituality are informed, inspired, and enriched by the universal love and awareness that lie at the heart of all sacred traditions.
For nearly three decades I have studied and practiced meditation in the Buddhist and contemplative Christian traditions, while also doing deep dives into many other spiritual paths along the way. I am a practicing Quaker and Buddhist, and have extensive experience with Jewish, Hindu, Sufi paths. I also find deep meaning in the spiritual-but-not-religious perspective. I cherish kindness, silence, and nature.
In my free time I love to hike, cook, garden, weave, spend time with my family which includes two German Shepherds, and travel to far-flung places.
I received my certificate in Spiritual Direction through Oasis Ministries for Spiritual Development. I received certification to teach Mindfulness meditation through Sage Institute for Creativity and Consciousness. I am a graduate of the Integrated Study and Practice Program at Barre Center for Buddhist Studies. I also hold a MS in Teaching/Communications from Antioch University New England.
I am a member of Spiritual Directors International and abide by their
