Insight Meditation South Bay presents
Introduction to Mindfulness Level I:
with Jennifer Dungan and Drew Oman
Topic: Mindfulness of Thoughts
Edwards Hall of St Timothy’s Church
2094 Grant Road, Mountain View, 94040
Jennifer Dungan began her meditation practice in 2003 with a mindfulness-based stress reduction course (MBSR). The discipline of meditation opened a new world of personal discovery and her desire to continue learning propelled her to IMSB in January 2006. Jennifer especially appreciates the scientific method promoted by the Buddha. She lives with her spouse in Mountain View and works at NASA Ames Research Center.
Drew Oman's involvement with Buddhism began in the early 70s when he took a course in Buddhist Scriptures from Walpola Rahula (What the Buddha Taught) at Northwestern University, where Drew obtained a BA in psychology. His spiritual journey led him through years of rich study and practice with the Quakers, Self-Realization Fellowship, and while following Eknath Easwaran here in the Bay Area, an immersion in the Christian mystics. Drew returned to Buddhism, specifically to Vipassana practice, in the early 90s, and has established a consistent meditation practice, is an active member of IMSB, studies Buddhist scripture, and engages in retreat practice. Drew teaches English as a Second Language at De Anza College in Cupertino.
