about susa.

​

​I have been practicing Insight Meditation for 20 years and am a long-time student of Sayadaw U Tejaniya with whom I temporarily ordained in 2010.

 

In 2017, I co-founded Open Door Meditation Community with Alexis Santos and many wonderful humans and I spent 4 years as a senior meditation producer with Happier. 

 

I bring a lifetime of experience living with ADHD to my current work coaching individuals, facilitating workshops, and teaching both online and in-person retreats. At the core of my practice is a deep confidence in the power of awareness and wisdom to transform the heart and mind. 

 

I also draw and make art, including a line of greeting cards available in shops around the US and online HERE.

gratitude to my teachers and practice lineage.

​

Boundless gratitude to my primary teacher Sayadaw U Tejaniya and his teacher Shwe Oo Min Sayadaw; to Steve Armstrong (may his memory be a blessing), Carol Wilson, and Alexis Santos.

 

And to countless teachers for their wisdom, transmission, mentorship and instruction, and for sharing these wisdom teachings – both oral and written – that have been stewarded and studied and passed down from Asian Buddhist monastics and laypeople for more than 2600 years.

 

It is with a full heart and grateful acknowledgement that I take part in the continuation of these teachings.  ​​​​
