ABOUT.
From being a Buddhist monk to working as a Wildland Firefighter for the United States Forest Service, Ricardo understands the importance of incorporating spirituality with one’s lifestyle. He has studied under various teachers and participated in different retreats to obtain a deep understanding of the methods available. Ricardo teaches meditation and lectures at a variety of holistic centers, schools and studios. He co-hosts the R&R Podcast with Ryan Burton, discussing topics in spirituality, health, wellness and overall cultivation of the path. His approach is practical, direct, and rooted in genuine experience across multiple traditions. Meditation, for Ricardo, is not a technique to master but a way of being to inhabit.
Meditation is not only about mindfulness or concentration, but being able to sit in the space of love. The most non-dual thing is love, for it is in the unconditionality of love that you will find the connection of the internal.
