Tanya Wiser, LCSW, SEP is a queer-identified mother, therapist, and meditation teacher who is a devoted practitioner of mindfulness and somatic wisdom, and a lifelong student of psychology and the heart. She teaches at the Insight Meditation Center in Redwood City and offers retreats grounded in attentive presence, receptive awareness, and embodied compassion, often in relationship with the natural world and guided by the question, “Is the heart open or closed?” Her approach arises from her lived experience of the Dharma and draws on training in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, and Somatic Experiencing—supporting people in meeting life with greater wisdom, care, and compassion.
