The group is alternately led by Anna Douglas Ph.D. and Sanjay Manchanda Ph.D. As one of the founding teachers of Spirit Rock Meditation Center in California, Anna’s teaching is grounded in the Buddhist tradition and influenced by Advaita, the Diamond Approach, Tibetan Buddhist teachings and Yoga, as well as her background in Clinical Psychology.  Sanjay’s teaching also draws from different traditions such as Advaita, Yoga, Sufism, Buddhism and Western Psychology and Neuroscience.  Their own practice backgrounds speak of the confluence in our world right now of a wide range of psychological and spiritual wisdom traditions. Together they emphasize the process of awakening, and its embodied expression as love and wisdom.
