I am a mindfulness and meditation guide for individuals and organizations. My offerings range from single sessions and workshops to courses and retreats. My practice is anchored in Buddhist teachings and neuroscience evidence. I source from diverse wisdom and liberation traditions as well. I focus on how we can translate teachings that may seem abstract or unattainable into embodied practices for truly living more mindfully and kindly in our daily lives and for taking wise, compassionate action in response to what’s happening in our interconnected, wounded world.
You can find my public mindfulness offerings in Events. To book a mindfulness session or series for you or your organization, please contact me.
“Patricia is incredibly skilled at holding space for people to show up as their whole selves. People new to mindfulness find her sessions relatable and accessible, and more experienced practitioners learn ways to deepen their practice. Patricia grounds her teaching in the traditional origins of meditation, incorporates neuroscience evidence, and uplifts the teachings of BIPOC thinkers.” ~ Cori Racela, Executive Director, Western Center on Law & Poverty
I studied mindful awareness practices at the Mindful Awareness Research Center at the University of California, Los Angeles. I deepened my wisdom and practice through many trainings and retreats at meditation centers and monasteries in the US and Europe, mainly in the Plum Village and Insight Meditation traditions, as well as trainings in Mindful Self-Compassion. I continue to learn from diverse teachers, sangha-community, our kindred beings, and the earth.
