Joanie Lane opened "A Positive Light" in May of 2010. Her vision for the center is to share positive teachings with the intention to spread loving kindness through the experiential techniques of Meditation, Qigong and Reiki.
Set at the base of beautiful Mt. Konocti in Kelseyville, Ca. we offer a peaceful, open and loving environment. We hold weekly meditation classes in Mindfulness, Loving-kindness, and Insight meditation.
We welcome other teachers to share their knowledge and experience with students. If you are a teacher with a positive message to share please contact us, we would love to add your class to our calendar.

As a meditator for more than 30 years and a meditation teacher for 10, Joanie Lane has committed to a 2 year Mindfulness Meditation Certification Program in 2019 taught by Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach, two of the most skilled and respected teachers on mindfulness meditation in the west. My goal in joining this class is to be able to bring all who attend A Positive Light events the gift of a happier more fulfilled life through a larger variety of classes and more in-depth learning.
As a Teacher of Buddhist based meditation I follow the path of serving to benefit others. This is my karma of joy. In order to follow my calling and bring the very best teachings to you I continue my Sutta studies, and research of the great teachers to provide the best service to all who attend the classes here at A Positive Light. |
