Viveka

Viveka’s teaching emphasizes awakening here and now - grounded in the body, and accessed through a spacious, appreciative, curiosity. Since being ordained in 1997, she has been committed to developing Triratna’s collective teaching and practice of vipshyana (insight) in meditation.

Her teaching style is informed by over 20 years of dharma practice and long silent retreats, interaction with a diversity of Buddhist teachers and practitioners, and her work as a certified coach, facilitator, and trainer supporting people in social change movements to realize lasting transformation.

She lives in San Francisco, California where she has been Chair of the Triratna Buddhist Center since 2000.
