Since retiring from university teaching following thirty-six years at Wesleyan University, my interests and current activities have revolved around two specific areas: The first is, continuing to teach--on various Buddhist topics and on specific Buddhist texts--at universities, Buddhist centers and other venues, and 2) guiding retreats--some for just a weekend, some for a number of weeks--which focus on “Making the Invisible, Visible: Race and Racism through a Buddhist Lens.” I have found these retreats to be nourishing and, on many levels, transformative for the individuals who participate in them and I look forward to helping to make the recognition, awareness and healing of racism a reality in our world.

If you are interested in inviting me to speak or lead a retreat for your group, please contact me.
