Retreat Talk #1: Coming Home to the Body, with Lynn Teo

Retreat Talk #1: Coming Home to the Body, with Lynn Teo

This is the first talk of a weeklong retreat in 2026.

Lynn Teo starts by exploring various ways to resource the nervous system to support the capacity to be present to the moment's direct experience.

Then, we investigate what mindfulness is and how mindfulness of the body supports present moment awareness.

Lynn Teo has been teaching embodied movement and meditation for over 25 years. Deeply grateful to her teachers, she now teaches in the Insight (Vipassana) Tradition and is a Dharma teacher with Open Door Meditation Community in Portland, Maine. A deep believer in Sangha and belonging, she helps to empower community members (in particular helpers, healers, artists, activists, and people of color) with embodied practices of radical rest, resilience, and trauma/burnout recovery.

As a clinician, Lynn combines acupuncture, shiatsu, and Somatic Experiencing ® and specializes in helping patients suffering anxiety, stress, overwhelm, burnout and trauma as well as chronic pain and chronic conditions.
