Stephanie Curran
Visiting Teacher
Stephanie Curran attended her first retreat in 1996 and has been immersed in the Dharma ever since. When she first encountered the teachings of Sayadaw U Tejaniya in 2018, the gentle and relaxed nature of his approach changed her practice and her life. This inspired traveling to Burma with her young family and spending five weeks together on retreat with Sayadaw in 2019.
Stephanie is a Practitioner of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine and leads a variety of mindfulness programming. She is a certified instructor of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and has completed a number of secular mindfulness-based teacher trainings. Stephanie has adapted these programs to offer specialized classes and retreats for people struggling with infertility, pregnancy loss and postpartum. She leads with a trauma informed approach and feels particularly touched walking alongside people who are moving through grief.
She lives in Victoria, BC with her husband, daughter, and their lovely dog Bodhi.
