Mitra
Brad has been a Mitra in the Margha program since 2015 and serves on the NDF Ethics Committee. In 2004, Brad and his wife Laura co-founded the Great Pond Sangha in North Andover, MA.
Brad completed the Margha program and found it to bring together a number of core practices in a clear and powerful way. He credits the Margha program for helping deepen his understanding of the Dharma. This connection to the Margha program inspired Brad to become a Mitra where he can help introduce these same practices to others while continuing to develop his own understanding.
