She is also the founder of the San Francisco Center for Meditation and Psychotherapy where she has practiced since 1967. She has several published works, the most recent being her book, Ending the Search: From Spiritual Ambition to the Heart of Awareness.

She dropped some truth bombs on us and if you listen to the conversation, we think they’ll land on you as well.
