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) and clear sight (vipassanā).

Philosophy

Everyone experiences moments of  clarity and intuition. It's not only possible for us to develop these faculties further, it's inevitable. We can train ourselves to perceive and act in accordance 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

Meditation instruction, meditation retreats, one-on-one coaching, and workshops. Call or email for details.

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

    “No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.


    The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple, among his followers, gives not of his wisdom but rather of his faith and his lovingness.


    If he is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind.”


    -Khalil Gibran, "The Prophet"
