My research looks at the experience of subtle states of consciousness in Western contemplative arts, and works toward a robust, socially-inclusive Buddhist phenomenology. In my communities, I teach Theravāda Buddhism, Insight Meditation, and Haṭha Yoga as supports for personal liberation and social justice, working with practitioners of meditation, āsana, prānāyāma, devotion, and inquiry. I also write about current issues in Western Buddhist and Yoga communities, as well as art, performance, politics, and social issues.
