Mentoring
Mentoring sessions allow you to share the facets of this often solitary journey with someone who has walked the road and has decades of experience in guiding others along the way.
After two decades of teaching, my most profound joy remains helping people discover their own unique path, one they can trust implicitly to guide them through life.

"Trisha is a natural—authentic, wise and caring. She teaches with a rare combination of depth, warmth, and straightforwardness."
Her guidance is gentle without being sentimental, clear without being rigid, and deeply respectful of each person's unique path of awakening. It’s been a joy to witness her evolution over the many years we’ve know each other and I heartily recommend her as a Dharma teacher and guide on the spiritual path.

"Having practiced and taught alongside Trisha for many years, I deeply trust the wisdom, integrity, and compassionate presence she brings to the Dharma seat."
Her teaching is grounded in lived practice, joy, and a willingness to meet what is tender, complex, and true. Through her participation in my yearlong Racial Affinity Group Development Program, Trisha has courageously examined whiteness, cultural identity, and belonging, and, though her example, skillfully supports others in doing the same. She offers Dharma in ways that are clear, human, and deeply supportive of real practice, gently helping people return to what is most true in themselves.
— Ruth King, Meditation teacher and author of Mindful of Race: Transforming Racism from the Inside Out

"Trisha has an undying commitment to support the awakening of beings through her clear and accessible teachings, terrific sense of humor, and deep love for the Dharma."
Trisha has been a dear dharma colleague and friend for over fifteen years. She rocks!
— La Sarmiento, Teacher Emeritus, Insight Meditation Community of Washington

looking for that indefinable presence —
not once have I failed to find it.”
