Peter is a Recognized Teacher and Mentor of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR); he is also a certified Teacher-in-Training of Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC). Less formally, Mindfulness roots, deeply influences, and steadies most aspects of his life; that is, in Relationship; in his way of conceiving Psychotherapy; in his way of Martial Moving; and in his profound appreciation for Nature and all that it is to be alive. Lastly, in terms of teaching style, expect from Peter: Enthusiasm; Playfulness, and Deep Respect; Challenge; Experience; and Compassion.

Spanning a career, Linda has been teaching and integrating the concepts and practice of Mindfulness into her Psychotherapy work with youth, adults, couples, families and groups. She attends annual Mindfulness Retreats (Zen Sesshins) hosted by the Empty Cloud Sangha for Human Service Professionals where Dr. Marsha Linehan, Roshi presides and teaches. Linda has had a dedicated Mindfulness practice for now over 18 years which permeates into her intent to live life more presently.
