Meet larissa, also known as lala
Background
Larissa Kozij holds a degree in biochemistry and was previously a director at an educational publishing company. Her journey in meditation led her to live in Thailand and Indonesia, where she deepened her practice. She traveled throughout India, Nepal, Japan, Hong Kong, Laos, Australia, Turkey, France, Italy, Mexico, and across the United States, visiting significant sites and spending time in deep contemplation in nature.
Larissa draws on her studies in computer science, quantum mechanics, semiotics, psychology, literary theory, neuroscience, genetics, and more to blend scientific knowledge with profound meditative experience. She is currently writing a book and developing a card game to help people develop tranquility of awareness (śamatha), joy (pīti), and clear sight (vipassanā).
Larissa is honored to lead meditation sessions at Happy Monastery under the guidance of the Venerable Abbot Thích Tâm Nguyên.
Philosophy
Everyone experiences moments of clarity and intuition. It's not only possible for us to develop these faculties further, it's inevitable when we practice meditation. We can train ourselves to perceive and act in harmony with subtler levels of reality. The path for each individual is unique but there are simple heuristics we can adopt to more effectively harness the power of the mind and play the game of life to the max.
Services
I offer meditation instruction, mindfulness and resilience training, one-on-one coaching, corporate training, retreats, programs, lectures, and workshops for adults, children, and teens.
All programs are customized to meet the specific goals and needs of each group or individual.

Lila Means "Divine Play" in Sanskrit
"The concept of lila (Sanskrit: लीला) asserts that creation, instead of being an objective for achieving any purpose, is rather an outcome of the playful nature of the divine."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lila_(Hinduism)
"Lila is generally understood as a certain sweet and playful goodness that characterizes a universe whose essential nature is Shakti (the powerful, energetic principle)."

"Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun." -Alan Watts
