Brian Lesage

Bio

Brian has been devoted to Buddhist meditation since 1988 and has been teaching since 2000. His practice and training span the Zen, Theravada, and Tibetan traditions, and he was ordained in the Rinzai Zen lineage in 1996. Through years of study in Vipassana meditation, he has completed extended retreats in Myanmar, Nepal, and India, along with many more retreats throughout the United States.

He regularly leads retreats and teaches meditation courses across the country, offering guidance shaped by decades of disciplined practice and experience. In addition to his meditation work, Brian maintains a private practice in Somatic Experiencing, a natural approach to healing trauma that supports the body’s own ability to recover and restore balance.
