Cultivating Our Capacity to Respond

Meet and transform what hinders us
Nurture our heart’s resilience
Learn to choose life in each moment

Sensory Awareness Programs

In the embodied mindfulness practice of Sensory Awareness, we explore simple activities to cultivate our sensory literacy and rediscover the wonder and wisdom of our bodies and natural responsiveness. When we “return to our senses” the habits that hinder us are revealed and our capacity to wake up, heal and appreciate life is nourished and strengthened.

About Lee

All of my work is focused on cultivating the capacity to connect to our own innate responsiveness, move beyond what limits or constricts us, and bring the best of ourselves to what is needed. There is so much in our world that we cannot change or control. Yet how we respond to the immediate possibilities and challenges of each moment is completely within our domain of influence, and can change the way we live.

James BarazVipassana Meditation Teacher and Author of Awakening Joy
What Lee has taught me over the decades with Sensing is that there is no such place where SENSING can’t be practiced — that even in solitary confinement, on San Quentin’s Death Row, I have been able to sit quietly with my breath and honor my life and tears as inseparable friends with my heart.
Jarvis MastersAuthor, Buddhist Practitioner and Teacher for people around the world from his prison cell
Diving deep with Lee has been life-changing. She brings so much caring, sincerity, wisdom and experience to how she offers Sensory Awareness, and to everything she does. I cherish with deep gratitude the learning and opening up to connection that has come from working with Lee.
