About the Facilitators
Space and Movement have always been a driving interest to Georges and has lead him to the study of dance, architecture and photography. Twenty years ago, unsurprisingly, it led to the study of Yoga. Georges is forever grateful to Vivekan of Bodhisattva Yoga for reopening the door to Dharma, to Prema Yoga’s Amanda Harding and her team where Georges completed his RYT200, as well as the Shantideva Center for providing the training to become a Meditation Leader.
Patricia Crain met the Dharma at a retreat led by Jack Kornfield in 2008. Since 2015, she has studied with many teachers at Shantideva Center, has gone on retreats with this community, as well as at the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies and on a pilgrimage and retreat in Nepal. As a professor of English for 25 years at Princeton University, the University of Minnesota and New York University, she aspired to help students use their liberal arts courses to connect with and express their own deepest authentic selves. Meditation 101 offers methods for closely noticing the activity of one’s own mind, for the sake of both personal healing and a compassionate recognition of the struggles shared with others.
