Curt’s first mediation class was through Ann Arbor Rec & Ed, an introduction to meditation offered by Deep Spring in the fall of 2003. He’s been taking classes and sitting retreats offered by Deep Spring and now Still Mountain ever since. Influential teachers are David Lawson, Shaila Catherine and Carol Blotter. Influential books are Mindfulness in Plain English, The Heart of Buddhist Meditation (4 foundations), and Radical Acceptance. In his practice, he uses Anapanasati (Mindfulness of Breathing), Metta and several concentration techniques.
Curt was honored when David invited him to enter teacher training in 2019. He completed teacher training in 2022 and taught several Rec & Ed classes and a few half day retreats with Karen Mori and Hugh Danville.
