  Peggy Porter Riedesel

  Early on I had interests in the mystical through prayer and congregational singing. At 17 I learned TM and became a TM teacher in my early 20s. While keeping my eyes and heart open to consciousness through meditation, mindfulness and contemplative Christian practices, I became a Physical Therapist/Wound Care Specialist, a mother of 3 and a lover of the outdoors. Since retiring I have more time to actively pursue mysticism: began with Thomas 2018, Nov 2019 completed USPGLT, currently enrolled in TWT and Ancestral Healing.  Participating in relational practices has been a boost to my maturity as a cultural architect.

  Shana Lieberman Klinger entered the field of Thomas Huebl through the Pocket Project community calls in 2020 and was certified as a Practice Group Leader in 2021. The deep presencing and collective attunement she experienced in practice groups completely resonated with her own work of teaching mindful listening and speaking, as well as the principles of interbeing she had learned through long-term Buddhist meditation practice.  She has found intentional collective fields and attuned holding spaces to be invaluable in her own healing and resourcing process, including recovering from long covid. Shana offers online presencing groups, ritual spaces, and one-to-one coaching to the general public, while enjoying Zhineng Qigong, shamanic practices, and connecting with nature on a daily basis.
