May the pure energy that is your birthright and the source of life itself, course freely through you, awaken your motivation to thrive, to express, and to create. May you feel the energy, strength, and resilience of your ancestors within you. May you bathe in deep and embracing spaciousness, and feel the healing balm of silence and grace.

Susan Arnold Aldea MD

Retired Perinatologist, Neuroscientist, Ordained Zen Practitioner.

Susan worked as a scientist, a physician, and a teacher and spent over 20 years training as a Zen practitioner. Susan brought her love of science, reason, and discovery to the exploration of the inner world, recognizing for herself the power and beauty of old mystical teachings. Her own professional and academic training helped her appreciate the significant demands of a medical profession, its promises, and limitations. It has been Susan’s dream to bring together science and mysticism so they can mutually nourish and sustain one another.
