Hi, I’m Shrijnana. I facilitate Open Circle, the Buddhism study and practice discussion forum.

I was born in New England, and after living in various places as widespread as London and San Francisco, I’ve settled back in New Hampshire with my husband and daughter. I’ve been meditating and practicing Buddhism for twenty years, both of which have had a profound effect on my life. I have been a member of the Western Buddhist Order since 2001 and began teaching Buddhism shortly after that.

As Bodhipaksa’s partner, I’ve watched Wildmind grow from an idea in Bodhipaksa’s mind to the flourishing enterprise that it is today. Until recently I was too busy with my own science teaching career to be involved with Wildmind. Now that I’ve taken a break from my career to raise my daughter I am able to do what I love, teaching the Dharma, through Wildmind.

In addition to my meditation practice, I also have an Ashtanga yoga practice that is very important to me. I find meditation, yoga, and Buddhism complement one another well. Meditation and yoga help ground me in the present moment, and Buddhism provides an ethical and spiritual perspective on my experience. I am hoping to explore this relationship more in the years to come.
