Special Guest Teacher:
Ashley Wilson earned her PhD in anthropology from Washington University in St. Louis in 2019. Her anthropological training, a practice in clear seeing in and of itself, ultimately led her to the spiritual path. She is now an active practitioner in the Plum Village tradition. She is currently employed as the Associate Editor at The Arrow Journal, where she finds pure joy in working at the intersection of the academic and dharma worlds. She also works in educational publishing, teaches yoga, and shares the practice of mindfulness and meditation through personal coaching sessions. She delights daily in the practice of solo motherhood and seeing the world anew through the eyes of her young son and littlest teacher, Sage.
