Leah Dipti Esrick, MSN, RN

I trust the heart- mind’s innate gravitation towards union, supporting children and adults to embody their unique expression of pure love. I was called to the path in 2005, offering reiki energy to patients at end of life. I went on to give nursing care in hospitals, clinics, in home and in K-12 schools for over fifteen years. I offered public and community health nursing, as well as organizing for food justice and to increase access to healing for all.

I feel deeply connected to lineage- a surrender in love. I practice Raja and Maha Kundalini Yoga with Shri Anandi Ma, Vipassana (sati or mindfulness) in the Burmese Sayadaw and Thai Forest Monastery traditions, EmbodyYoga, as well as Tai Chi Chuan. I was born Roman Catholic and converted to Judaism at age 7– received bat mitzvah in this lineage of peace. I hold the seeds of many traditions with love—all of us so precious.
