Teresa Todoroff, RYT
Guest Teacher, Movement Teacher
Teresa joyfully revels in the precious opportunity to practice and serve the Dhamma. She began her contemplative inquiries as an adolescent and has been committed to the path of liberation, wisdom and compassion ever since. Her practice has been informed by many years leading young adults, retreat centers, and diverse communities across the US and Latin America as a teacher, facilitator and guide. In 2014, she felt a deep sense of homecoming in the Theravadan lineage and organized her life around intensive silent retreat practice. She is most inspired and uplifted when engaging with the Eightfold Path, serving yogis in the depths of their healing, supporting monastic sanghas, and dedicating the merit. As a bilingual educator and multicultural mindfulness and movement teacher, Teresa is grateful for the many streams of blessings in her life and the gift of the triple jewel.

Natural Radiance: Exploring the Freedom of Awareness
Spaces Still Available! Awareness is a beautiful, hidden jewel that is innate in everyone. Awareness illuminates experience, which supports clarity, understanding, and insight. It is a foundation for wisdom, compassion, and awakening. In this silent meditation retreat, we will explore this quality of awareness—what it is, and how to cultivate and abide in awakened presence.

Equanimity: Finding Balance in Uncertain Times
Spaces Still Available! Equanimity (upekkhā) is a highly-valued quality in Buddhist teachings. But what is it, and how do we cultivate it in our meditation practice? How can we access equanimity in daily life, especially in the midst of uncertainty, fear, and sadness over the suffering in the world? This retreat will offer instructions, talks, sitting and walking meditations, and practice discussions to support the development of equanimity in our formal practice. We can then apply equanimity to our life off the cushion.
