Sarah's Story

Sarah grew up with addict parents both of whom passed away early in her life. While struggling with constant panic attacks, she discovered new peace when a childhood friend introduced her to an Ajahn Brahm video about death. This began her journey into Buddhist teachings and ultimately connected her to us. Having never experienced Buddhism except through online videos and readings, Sarah reached out to us eager to join us this Summer at the After Mindfulness Urban Retreat.

We're so excited to host her story and many others as speakers such as Ajahn Brahm gather with us from all over the world to explore how Buddhist teachings empower us to find our voice and true happiness for the greater good of our global family.
