Experienced tutor in Meditation, Lawrence offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

I'm a long-time attendee of Anam Cara's Thursday night meditation programs in Armonk and of the semi-annual retreats. The instructor Lawrence Edwards has an amazing depth of spiritual knowledge and personal experience that is very rare to find. He offers grounded, practical advice, as well as clear, in-depth explanation of traditional spiritual teachings. I always come away from his programs with a new enthusiasm for continuing and deepening my practices. Lawrence also creates a very relaxed and warm environment that invites questions and sharing, and it's a delight to be in conversation with others in the group. Lawrence is a genuine, kind-hearted teacher who brings true skill and integrity to all that he offers.

Anam Cara programs are always inspiring, and those who attend offer a warm sense of community and mutual support. I couldn't imagine my own journey without this community. If you're looking to deepen your meditation practice, Anam Cara is a gem of a resource!

Walking into Anam cara’s meditation room is like walking into a safe haven filled with warmth, laughter, love and spirituality. Lawrence shares his deep knowledge of meditation in an open and approachable way, resulting in endless benefits to those who develop their own practice. Highly recommended.

I have practiced meditation since 1978 and have meditated with such people as Jack Kornfield and Jon Kabat-Zinn. I haven’t worked with Anam Cara but have gone on retreats offered by it and consider Lawrence Edwards to be a teacher of the first rank. He brings a deep understanding of spirituality to the work and an openness to sharing that knowledge in accessible ways. Chanting with him is a bit of Heaven.

Lawrence Edwards is an extraordinary human being whose teachings are rich in wisdom and depth, warmth and compassion. The Anam Cara Foundation is a spiritual oasis where the sense of community and love is palpable. Whether you attend the weekly Sangha or the profound weekend retreats, you will be held in a space of unconditional acceptance and love.

Working with Anam Cara meditation has been and still is very enlightening.
