Originally from the UK, and a long-time resident of New Mexico, he is the guiding teacher at Mountain Cloud Zen Center in Santa Fe, and co-director of the Rio Grande Mindfulness Institute. He is the author of One Blade of Grass and has written semi-regularly for Tricycle and the New York Times.

And if you like, you may wish to participate in the age-old tradition of generosity through making an offering yourself – called “dāna” – to support Rick and the Wednesday Meditations. Generosity itself is a beautiful practice that opens and gladdens the heart, relaxes the contraction of “self,” and ripples out into the world to touch many people – and perhaps, eventually, even oneself.
