NATHAN GLYDE began meditating in 1997, and teaching retreats in 2007. From continued exploration grew a deep love for meditation’s alive stillness and creative silence.

In 2004 this led to the co-founding of SanghaSeva.org to offer retreats combining meditation with social and environmental action.
