ABOUT DEB WRIGHT
Deb is a graduate of the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies Advanced Study and Practice Program and long time practitioner in the vipassana tradition. “I’ve always had a curiosity about how the world works and been a keen observer, so twenty years ago, when I discovered Jack Kornfield’s A Path with Heart as part of a trans-personal psychology course, I realized that Buddhism offered the methodology that I was seeking. The Buddha offered insight into the essential nature of existence and how to live skillfully and in peace with whatever we experience in the present moment. My thinking and teaching emphasis is on the integration of practice into lay life, how to BE the practice rather than practicing the practice.”
