Mid America Dharma’s Newest Board Member Introduces Herself

Nancy Lewis

I was honored to be welcomed to the board of Mid-America Dharma in the Fall of 2020. My interest in Insight Meditation and Buddhism began around 2015 and I sought out retreat opportunities, but it took a couple of years before I found Mid America Dharma. During my first in-person retreat I loved the spirit of the organization and other participants, however, the lack of diversity slightly inhibited my enjoyment. I wanted to become more involved, to add my perspective, and to help others like myself see what roles we can play in MAD. As a board member, I will help promote access and interest in meditation and retreats to a diverse audience. 

 

Mid America Dharma welcomes Nancy to the board.
