I am a mindfulness and meditation guide for organizations, groups and individuals. My offerings range from weekly sessions and multipart courses to workshops and weeklong retreats. My practice is anchored in Buddhist teachings and neuroscience evidence, and 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 all aspects of our daily lives—and for cultivating awareness, compassion and action in response to what’s happening in our interconnected lives and world.
You can find my upcoming mindfulness offerings in Events.
“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 learns 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, former Deputy Director, Western Center on Law & Poverty
“Patricia’s mindfulness classes felt like a safe shelter for me. I felt renewed, energised and filled with love and positivity after each meeting. She is a dedicated and generous teacher, sharing both wisdom and a variety of practical techniques that will help you navigate whatever problem you may be facing. I highly recommend Patricia’s offerings whether you are a newcomer to meditation or an experienced practitioner.” ~ Dr. Defne Çizakça
I studied mindful awareness practices at the Mindful Awareness Research Center at the University of California, Los Angeles. I have deepened my wisdom and practice through many trainings and retreats at meditation centers and monasteries in the US and Europe, including many retreats in the Plum Village and Insight Meditation traditions, and regular trainings in Mindful Self-Compassion. I continue to learn from diverse teachers, sangha-community, our kindred beings, and the earth.
