Julie Greene began her meditation journey at Naropa University in 1995, connecting with the energy and teachings of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche. She has been a student of Reginald A. Ray since 2001, deepening her practice through his embodied meditation teachings and emphasis on the wisdom in our relative lives. Prior to 1995, Julie studied native shamanism and earth based spirituality and this continues to inform her path. She teaches in a heart-felt, genuine way, emphasizing personal connection and direct experience as the way the teachings are best communicated.
