About the teacher
Ricard Perez
Ricard Perez is a meditation teacher and contemplative coach with more than thirty years of practice. His work centers on freeing attention from compulsive mental activity so it can settle naturally into peace, stillness and openness.
His progressive method meets people where they are and develops attention step by step, from distraction and effort toward stability, effortless awareness and direct recognition. The deeper aim is not simply better concentration or temporary meditative states, but increasingly natural access to the spontaneous joy, peace and freedom already present beneath mental activity.
“Peace is not something you chase. It is something you can live, Now.”Ricard Perez
