Keri Pederson

Keri began meditating in 1998 and began formal retreat practice in the tradition of S. N. Goenka. She has since sat numerous retreats with lay and monastic teachers in the U.S., Thailand, and India, and draws inspiration most deeply from the nuns and monks (current and former) in the Thai Forest tradition of Ajahn Chah. Keri completed the Spirit Rock/IMS retreat teacher training in 2016, and teaches primarily at Seattle Insight and at centers around the Pacific Northwest. She also works in elder-care and is the mother of a young son.
