Felicia Dickerson came to meditation through Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction courses at UCLA’s Mindfulness Awareness Research Center in 2011. Since then she has deepened her practice in sangha with Against the Stream, in retreat at Insight Meditation Society, and through courses at NY Insight, the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies, and Spirit Rock.

She continues to show up to hold space, build community, and support New York Insight as a Practice Leader with the Harlem and BIPOC, and Midlife sanghas. With the kind support and guidance of NYI mentors, she is currently enrolled in Spirit Rock’s Community Dharma Leaders training program in 2025-2026.
