“Creating Space: Exploring the Feminine Principle”
Ericka Phillips is a meditator, yoga instructor, writer, and development consultant. Her journey as a meditator began as a teenager when her father introduced her to yoga and meditation as spiritual practice and tools for health and wellbeing. Ericka began her formal Buddhist meditation studies in 2000. In 2010 she completed a 300 hour yoga teacher training with Rodney Yee and Colleen Saidman at Yoga Shanti where she continued to assist as a mentor. Inspired by the Buddhist teachings on mindfulness-awareness, and the strength and compassion of all her teachers, her meditation-based asana classes explore true liberation through the interdependence of body & mind. She studied creative writing and social justice movements at Hampshire College in Amherst, MA, and Creative Writing at Columbia University. Ericka is the former Executive Director of the Shambhala Meditation Center of New York.
