Engaged Buddhism to cultivate inner and outer liberation for revolutionary change

 
 

Hey! I’m Adriana 👋

I am a Buddhist meditation teacher, writer, facilitator, and parent. I help meditators integrate their social activism and spiritual practice.

I believe that reimagining a more life-giving world requires social-political-economic change and deep spiritual transformation. My mission is to help you live into your values of service and solidarity supported by the wisdom of Buddhist practice, so that you can continue to resist in the struggle for collective change.
