Dawn Scott sat her first Young Adult retreat in the summer of 2008, and it meant a great deal to her to meet other young people who valued turning inward, silence, connection, authenticity, and asking big questions of life.  Since then, she served as the Family Program Coordinator for eight years at Spirit Rock Meditation Center and continues to teach teen retreats through Inward Bound Mindfulness Education (iBme).  She is a graduate of the Insight Meditation Society’s 2017 – 2021 teacher training program, a co-principal teacher of Marin Sangha, and is a core teacher of Spirit Rock’s Liberation, Emptiness, and Awareness Practices (LEAP) Program and the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies and Insight Meditation’s joint program, Exploring the Heart of Freedom.  Dawn has a deep love of long retreat practice, the Buddha’s liberative teachings, and working with young people.
