Kristine McCutcheon has been meditating in the Shambhala Buddhist tradition for over 30 years. Studying the dharma has led her to travel to Nepal and India and then back to Nova Scotia.

Drawing on her background as a Montessori teacher, Kristine presents the dharma in a hands-on way, incorporating movement, song and contemplation to help participants ground in shamatha meditation.

Taking her teachers’ examples to heart, Kristine is a householder and lives with her partner in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, between the mountain and the ocean.
