Stephanie Noble is a meditation teacher in Marin County, CA. She teaches meditation classes, and is available to coach individual meditators, lead groups or help people form their own groups. She offers this service on a donation (dana) basis. If you are interested, contact her.

Stephanie was initially introduced to meditation thirty five years ago in classes at the College of Marin. Her primary teacher was Bliss Bellinger, who taught a variety of meditative forms, feeling that each person needs to intuit his or her own natural style of meditating. It was Bliss who insisted she write her book Tapping the Wisdom Within, A Guide to Joyous Living.

In the early 1990's she began attending weekly classes at Spirit Rock Meditation Center. For 16 years she attended the Friday morning class with dharma teacher and Spirit Rock co-founder Anna Douglas and subsequent teachers. She was manager of this class for over ten years.

She has attended numerous silent Spirit Rock retreats from 3 - 11 days in length, and as day-long retreats with various teachers. Spirit Rock is a center for Vipassana or insight meditation from the Theravada tradition.

Stephanie began teaching and coaching meditation in conjunction with the publication and presentation of her book. She hosted the “Meditation Tips & Techniques” folder on AOL for two years in the early 1990’s as 'Stefalie'.
She stopped teaching in order to study Buddhism, and in 2008 returned to teaching, incorporating what she learned and continues to learn through study and inner exploration.

Since then she has lead various groups and coached individuals to help them develop and refine their own daily practice.
