Lisa Erickson is a mom, meditation teacher, and writer – mostly in
that order but it shifts from day to day. She teaches both secular and
spiritual meditation classes in Southern California (or anywhere else if you
want to fly her there!) Her secular classes are for stress management purposes,
mostly for corporations and organizations, including Parent Education groups.
Her public spiritual classes are non-denominational, and focus on meditation as
a pathway to personal growth and spiritual understanding.
Lisa began teaching and writing about meditation and related topics after
meditating daily for many years. Although raised Christian, she became
interested in Buddhism at Sarah Lawrence College, and studied it seriously for
a decade. Since then, she has explored meditation within the context of many
religions, as well as part of fitness and wellness programs. She holds a black
belt in karate, and studied Zen meditation as part of her martial arts
training. She has also studied several forms of yoga, and explored the
corresponding meditation techniques.
