Steve Zappalla lives in the greater Washington, DC, area and works as a psychotherapist teaching mindfulness and meditation in both Buddhist and secular contexts. His service in the military led him to find healing for his own trauma and addictions directly through these and other spiritual practices. As a 61-year-old white male, Steve loves relating and learning more about his conditioning within sangha communities. Practicing meditation for over 20 years, he is drawn to helping others in this community, and enjoys a more relaxed and conversational approach to the way he facilitates and teaches. Having taught in a variety of different settings and formats for over 12 years, he holds weekly drop-in classes, daylongs, silent retreats, and workshops in vipassana-style format and mindfulness workshops and training. His passion is to give back in the way that he learned, so that others may heal from our human condition and learn to love themselves.
