| Intro |
Hello, my name is David Fraser. I live near San Francisco. I regularly practice with the Big Heart City sangha in SF. I have been practicing Vipassana for about 30 years. My practice deepened significantly when I experienced end-stage heart failure and received a heart transplant in 2020. Coincidentally I had signed up for Spirit Rock’s “Year to Live” program just prior to my illness greatly accelerating, so I was literally dying while I was taking the course. It probably goes without saying that this was a very transformative experience. On the other side of it now, my Vipassana practice has only continued to deepen and this course seems like a great way to further my interests in both buddhism and psychology. I am interested in this course because after 35 years working in Tech, I am considering a career change to something counseling related. I am especially interested in working with people facing chronic illness, pain, and end of life.
