Erica Dutton

Welcome

Thank you for visiting. My website is here to share my practice of Reflective Meditation. I know from personal experience that it's hard to maintain a regular meditation practice, especially in the beginning. If you'd like personalized support and help with developing a meditation practice that works for you, I'm available for meditation support online and in person in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I'd be happy to share what my practice is like and assist you in your practice.

I am associated with SatiSangha (Newbury Park, CA), Pine Street Sangha (Portland, OR), Vacaya Sisters (online), and Still Mountain Meditation Center (Ann Arbor, MI)
