Our Meditation Facilitators

Laurie Ferreri

For over 30 years I have provided counseling to clients for improving mental health, overcoming addictions and health issues. I hold a Masters degree in Counselor Education from New York University (1987), am a Licensed Professional Counselor (in Virginia and DC) and am board certified by the National Board of Certified Counselors. I also received training in personal coaching through the Institute for Life Coach Training (2001) helping people achieve their personal and professional goals. I studied Internal Family Systems with Richard Schwartz, Ph.D. (Level 3 - 2015) and use this wonderful modality to help people find internal peace and freedom.

I have practiced meditation since the early 1990’s and energy healing (Reiki Master level, Esoteric Healing Level 4). I have been leading meditations for world peace in the Ageless Wisdom tradition for many years. I became certified as a HeartMath Practitioner for Stress, Anxiety and Self-Regulation.

Currently, I have a private psychotherapy practice and facilitate meditations on the Inward Bound Network and in the community of DC. My goal is to bring all that I’ve learned about psychology, wellness, healing and spirituality into my work.

I love helping people learn self-care skills to have more internal harmony, cope with stress and build resilience while engaging the higher self using the many modalities I have studied and practiced.

Tom Fox

I was first introduced to meditation and Buddhist concepts in 1967 when I encountered the teachings of Lucille Schaible in the form of The Nature of the Soul class that was being taught by one of her students. I finally met Lucille in 1975 and became her student until she died in 1984.

Since then I have received teachings from various Tibetan teachers including Khenpos Tsewang Dongyal and Palden Sherab, Shenpen Dawa Rinpoche and Gangteng Tulku Rinpoche among others. I am currently a member of the Yeshe Khorlo Buddhist group based in Bhutan, with their center in Crestone, Colorado.

My professional career has been in the field of psychology and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Colorado. I have worked in various settings, including hospitals, residential treatment centers, schools, prisons and jails. Along with my counseling activities I introduced meditation to inmates in the prison system.

I live in the mountains of Colorado and enjoy hiking, skiing, playing my guitar and writing songs. I have two grown sons and one grandson. I was married to a wonderful woman who passed away in June of 2020. Since then I have devoted more and more time to meditation and studying Buddhist texts, which has helped me greatly with this transition in my life.

Justine Hall

Through the Inward Bound Network I offer ‘Decluttering with Mindfulness’ classes.

Six years ago, I discovered “The Life Changing Magical Art of Tidying”, a book by Marie Kondo and over the following two years applied the method and principles to declutter my life and complete my own “Kon-Mari”. I found there was an alignment with this decluttering process and the spiritual wisdom teachings that I also practice.

The Kon Mari method applied with mindfulness can be a powerfully transformative step in creating a more joyful life. The focus of the ‘Decluttering with Mindfulness’ class is on shifting the inner causes of clutter and transforming our relationship with our things. To support others on their tidy journey I offer classes in person, online workshops, ongoing groups and personal coaching. I continue to learn and expand my understanding of the deeper implications of living a decluttered life, in my home, local community and for our planet.

My life is also dedicated to being a parent, a group and organizational facilitator, educator and guest speaker within the disability inclusion community. I am currently home-schooling two of my children and our cheeky border collie pup.

Catrine Lesage

I began my meditation experience in 1988 as a practice for self-healing and stress relief. I learned from direct experience how applying the techniques of mindfulness and visualization worked to introduce me to my own inner resources.

I started meditation sessions for others in 2006 while working at a retreat centre for health and wellbeing. I was also working there as a massage/Bowen therapist and Reiki practitioner. Being involved in the healing arts compliments my personal approach to helping others learning how to practice meditation. The classes I offer on the IBN network are mainly focused on teaching small groups. I present the methods of meditation practice in a nondenominational setting and my classes are generally in French, my native language.

While working with others I draw upon my extensive life and professional experience to provide a safe and nurturing environment.

Hadassah Lily

I was first formally introduced to the practice of meditation during my training as a Yoga Teacher in 2003. The first thing I noticed, when I began learning to meditate, was just how busy my mind was. It was overwhelming, like I had just woken up in the middle of a highway. And then of course came the immediate thought, “I can’t do this, my mind is too busy.” Regardless, I began an active search during that decade to learn more about meditation. The search was fruitful, and by 2010 I had completed the Advanced Teacher Training in the New Thoughtform Presentation of the Wisdom written by Lucille Cedercrans Schaible.

Later, I began teaching meditation alongside weekly yoga classes, and then when I went back to teaching children, I incorporated this practice into my Early Years Classroom and daily routine. Now, I practice Creative Counselling using Expressive Therapies with a focus on adolescents, children and families.

I also work with adults and run Wellbeing workshops and meditation courses online.

Teresa Micallef

Teresa’s respect and regard for children, and all they bring to our world is evident in her interactions with them and the gentle hope she holds for and with them to create our world anew.

She knows meditation has the capacity to assist children to deal with the pressures, stressors, and emotions of daily life, building their resilience and giving them skills to draw on when they need it, in the moment.

Teresa hopes that these meditation offerings provide a safe and sacred space for children to remember themselves, why they came, who they are; and to find the creative power within to take their own journey with joy and love forever in their hearts.

Teresa is a devoted Reiki Practitioner, Meditator and Wisdom Teacher. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Disability Studies and a Certificate IV in Reflexology.

Healing has always been central to her life in various ways. Her love of Spirit began as a child in nature, singing to the birds, the trees and playing with puppies... and continued with her intimate prayers to God.

As a young adult she discovered her teacher Denise Crundall and took her Reiki classes and began the journey of a lifetime. Now as a daily practitioner of Reiki healing, she administrates for the Usui Reiki Centre in Camberwell, Australia, and supports its teachers and community.

Teresa also works with people with developmental disabilities and their families helping them dream and create better lives within community and has done so for 25 years. She facilitates numerous groups and consults with people daily.

Teresa’s love of Reiki, healing and the children of our world inspired her to support the children’s Reiki classes, in Queensland, Melbourne and Canada, over the last 20 years, and she has led many follow up groups for Reiki Kids in Melbourne.

Greg Tzinberg

I began my studies of the Nature of the Soul, written by Lucille Cedercrans Schaible in 1970 and later went on to study with Lucille after she presented a weekend workshop on Buddhism in Southern California. In 1977 I travelled to Colorado to begin my training with her and remained with her until her passing in 1984.

I have dedicated myself to understanding and teaching the Wisdom from Lucille’s earlier works and in the Vajrayana teachings of Tibetan Buddhism. It was to present this synthesis that I wrote the book, Bridge to Maitreya. My aspiration and motivation is my conviction that self-realization is the basis for helping to alleviate the suffering of others.

Professionally, I have a Master’s degree in Organizational Development and worked as a leadership and teambuilding consultant in the technology, manufacturing and banking industries for over 16 years. I am still very interested in working with groups and organizations to build their capacity to work together in teams, communicate more effectively and to help people develop their vision, purpose and leadership skills.

Currently I co-teach a number of online courses with my partner, Theresa Tzinberg. Two of these courses are, Practicing the Presence and Loving Kindness in Action. We also coordinate two service initiatives; the Loving Kindness Forum and the Inward Bound Meditation network.

Theresa also has over 10 years of experience running a retreat centre for health and wellbeing, working with various modalities, teaching meditation, running workshops and classes and offering spiritual guidance and general life coaching.

Gay Vickers

I am both a teacher of the Wisdom and a healer.

My purpose is to invite you to experience for yourself the Wisdom teachings and techniques, Mindfulness and Meditation and discover a Path and means for turning inward to the Source of our true nature and love. What can be experienced is that ‘love heals, soothes and makes right’ and that an intimate, honest and compassionate experience of oneself and one’s inner brilliance enables an intimate and loving relationship with others and the One Life.

I have been a practising psychologist since 1985, trauma therapist and Reiki channel/healer. My spiritual teachers are Denise Crundall, Lucille Cedecrans Schaible, and Pam Nissen and through their inspiration I offer classes in: Path of Initiation 1 and 2; Nature of the Soul, Leadership Training, Ashramic Projections, Creative Thinking, Wisdom Therapy and Teacher’s Training.

I am currently exploring and applying Lucille’s Vajrayana Buddhist Teachings with Greg and Theresa Tzinberg and have been doing so since 2010.

My husband Gordon and I have two daughters, a step son, a granddaughter and grandson and live in Ocean Grove, Victoria, Australia.
