 Elizabeth Harper is the CMC Director of volunteers. She found the CMC through a flyer placed at her local optician’s shop. Having lived in five different cities over the course of the previous thirty years, she found the possibility of a sincere connection to humanity, as offered through the Community Meditation Center, to be a kind of welcoming home. Elizabeth works for a major international transportation engineering consulting firm, which, while providing much needed design services to the communities of our planet, also offers many opportunities to become estranged from one’s true self. Still a novice at meditation, she has already found that the ‘sitting practice’ leads her to reconnecting the intentions in her mind with the actions of her body. She dabbles in writing, fantasizes about singing and dancing, and could think of no better way to pass the time than with honest, open conversation about the challenging topics of our times. |

 Gregory Lopez, the CMC Director of Communications, first started meditating in 2007 during a crash course in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. After learning more about Buddhism, he decided to extend his practice in the Theravada/Vipassana tradition, in which he has been practicing for about a year. Greg holds a master's degree in molecular biophysics and a doctorate in pharmacy. When not attending Dhamma talks in his free time, Greg can often be found discussing philosophy or swing or salsa dancing, sometimes at the same time and much to his dance partners' dismay. Greg has been involved with the CMC since late 2008. |
