About

Leatrice's desire to be in accord with Reality required unwavering dedication to the exploration of Self. Early-life challenges, along with a chronic illness that developed later, deepened her understanding of physical and emotional pain—and how to transform it. Her search for Truths led her to explore many paths and disciplines. Significant among these were nine years residence in a Zen Buddhist monastic community, where she received lay ordination, and study of the profound Thinking and Destiny, by Harold Waldwin Percival. Her efforts throughout the years to “Seeing Rightly” led to a penetrating understanding of the path of the human—ultimately, to conscious awareness of Consciousness.

For more than five decades, Leatrice has shared her insights through writing, study groups, counseling, and teaching Zen meditation and pain transformation. She has offered her work at the Malvern Institute, a drug and alcohol treatment facility, as well as at holistic centers on both the East and West Coasts. Her emphasis is always on bringing Self-Knowledge into daily life, awakening others to the Truth of our being. 
 

Conscious awareness of Consciousness is everything that has ever happened or will happen, present in this very instant. It is the ordinary, extraordinary, ordinary, extraordinary, ordinary. . . It is the extraordinary ordinary.  LA
