Dharma Name: Peaceful Resolve of the Heart

Patricia works as a registrar in the monastery registration office. She first came to Deer Park in 2006 after reading Be Free Where You Are by Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh. After that visit, Patricia never stopped returning to the monastery and to the present moment. She started working in the registration office in 2008.

Patricia’s Hidden Talent: There is hardly anyone who knows this and she was even reluctant to mention it here, but Patricia is highly skilled at arranging fruit in a bowl. This talent is sometimes (or rarely) in demand by artists who do still life painting and designers who do staging.
