Her recent work includes full-time, board, and consulting engagements with Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health, Menla and Tibet House, Zen Center of NYC, The Open Center of New York, Upaya Zen Center, the Findhorn Foundation, One Spirit, several mindfulness technology startups, and mindfulness curriculum development for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology MBA and executive education programs. Her work has largely been influenced by teachings from Roshi Joan Halifax, Francis Weller, Karine Bell, and Alua Arthur — with whom she has immersed herself in countless trainings over the past years.

As the founder of The Grievery, Rebecca believes that our ability to hold grief in community will remind us of our interconnectedness with all living beings. After all, staying present and open to it all is a radical act. She created this space as an invitation for us all to be in practice with each other — a space to be touched by our grief, even and especially if we don't know how. We're doing it together!
