Special Guest Kim Allen – Online

June 29, 2021 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

This Tuesday, Napa Valley Insight Meditation will host a talk by Buddhist Teacher Kim Allen, online.

Kim Allen has been practicing Insight meditation since 2003 and has trained intensively in the US and Asia. Trained by Gil Fronsdal, she now teaches at Insight Santa Cruz and also offers classes and retreats around the Bay Area and farther afield. Dedicated to a contemplative life of study and practice, she draws from a background in science, meditation, and creativity to offer classical Dhamma in a modern context. Her education includes a Ph.D. in physics and a master’s degree in environmental and social sustainability.

​Kim’s teaching emphasizes the willingness to look truthfully at experience, feel it fully, and soften in light of what is seen. The heart may pass through phases of brittleness, hardness, slackness, fire & ice, before developing the supple strength that is based on wisdom and compassion. Kim finds it especially meaningful to work with people who are encountering transitions in their lives or their practice. Transition can become transformation.
