Charlotte August is grateful to have found a home with Reflective Meditation practice after seeking a resonant sangha and practice for decades. She was delighted to discover Pine Street Sangha and a deep resonance with Reflective Meditation and teacher, Nelly Kaufer, in late 2018 — where journaling is welcome and curiosity flourishes. Aside from serving as a general board member, Charlotte’s activities include: member of the ongoing Wednesday meditation group, registrar of Pine Street Sangha’s Continuing Education program, retreat management, and participation in various sangha affinity groups. She finds volunteering and working for the sangha to be added elements of intrinsic support to her practice and spiritual growth.
