Her work includes meditation and dance, integrating the stillness of Buddhist mindfulness meditation with the moving meditations of the 5Rhythms. Lucia leads focus groups co-teaching with masters in the fields of Buddhist meditation, yoga, trauma, addiction, grief, woman’s empowerment, Motion Theater® & wild dolphins excursions .

Buddha instructed that meditation should be practiced standing, sitting, laying down and in all bodily functions. He encouraged us to bring wise attention to every aspect of our lives. In sitting meditation, we have the opportunity to observe the mind and body at rest through silent introspection. In the practice of the 5Rhythms, we engage in mindfulness while in motion.
