She is currently a mentor for Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach’s Mindfulness Meditation Certification Program and leads weekly groups for the online practice community, Banyan. Alexa lives in Oregon and teaches at the Portland Insight Meditation Center, leading their weekly Women’s Sangha, as well as offering talks, day-long retreats and rotating classes.
