SUMMARY:Special Guest Kim Allen - Online

Trained by Gil Fronsdal\, she now teaches at Insight Santa Cruz and also offers classes and retreats around the Bay Area and farther afield.

Her education includes a Ph.D. in physics and a master’s degree in environmental and social sustainability. \n​Kim’s teaching emphasizes the willingness to look truthfully at experience\, feel it fully\, and soften in light of what is seen.

Kim finds it especially meaningful to work with people who are encountering transitions in their lives or their practice. Transition can become transformation. \nTo learn more about Kim go to: https://www.uncontrived.org/ \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/9179652791?pwd=RUZaRzcybmRBNmZIRlB2VWhuUnNPdz09
