SANDY BOUCHER will evoke the luminous spirit of Kwan Yin, the Buddhist bodhisattva of compassion, will invite us to share our own encounters with this powerful goddess, and will lead a guided full-moon meditation to connect us all with Kwan Yin’s compassionate energy.

Sandy has been leading retreats in the Northwest for ten years, working with women’s energy to break down our self-destructive patterns. Her books include Turning the Wheel: American Women Creating the New Buddhism; Opening the Lotus, A Woman’s Guide to Buddhism; Hidden Spring: A Buddhist Woman Confronts Cancer; and Dancing in the Dharma: The Life and Teachings of Ruth Denison.
