Hello, my name is Jake. I’m 22 years old, I grew up in Portland OR and currently live in Goleta California.
I have always been a seeker. At 15 I first experienced a consistent meditation practice and it was difficult but very impactful. I have been inspired by many different paths and voices along the way and often found the most resonant truths to be more shared than individual. Through meeting and taking classes with Susan I started into Tibetan Buddhism, and felt that many things just made sense: that these were teachings I had heard in my heart and mind since being a child and now, here they were externalized.
I took refuge in 2023.
I am so grateful for the strength and selflessness offered by our teacher Susan Piver, I know she has helped so many. Happy to share these teachings and experiences with you all!
Also, I am a four! for those who have enjoyed some study of the enneagram.
