Words from Mentees about Working with Me

I reached out to Victoria after a retreat. How she talked about practice in daily life felt real, and I was inspired to take what I learned with me in a serious way. It helped to have someone who has the wisdom of a true mentor and the warmth of a friend who will take the extra time and attention to walk and talk it through. With Victoria, I was able to make adjustments in my life to integrate what I was learning in a profound way that I wouldn’t have been able to do on my own.

- Emily

My practice has grown over time, and Victoria has been a support in all the ups and downs. In the first years of my practice, I needed encouragement to keep practicing, as I was mainly noticing how often I was off in a mind-created reality. But as awareness has grown, there’s more and more to be seen. Working with Victoria is like talking with an experienced travel guide, one who knows the terrain of the mind-heart. Maybe I’m seeing a certain mind-heart state - swirling doubt or persistent dullness - for the first time or in a new way. But, Victoria has been there before.

The Buddha said that the dharma is ehipassiko - something to be tested and verified with one's one experience. I get the most out of conversations with Victoria when I'm regularly practicing - either formally (on the mat) or informally (through intentional mindfullness in daily life). Regular practice brings me up against my edges - where I struggle; where I can grow. It's these places where I need a guide, and where Victoria can provide context and point me towards more clarity.

On Dāna: The Practice of Generosity

Dāna—generosity—is at the heart of how I offer the Dhamma. It’s not just a payment model; it’s a spiritual practice of the receiver and the giver, one that’s challenged and shaped me in profound ways.

What I've discovered over time is that Dāna works as a profoundly relational practice. I don’t set fees; I offer the teachings as a gift and then invite generosity. That’s not always easy. It means having to ask for support, to trust, and to live in that space of mutual care. I trust that offering freely allows for a deeper kind of connection. And it's not always comfortable, especially because I rely on the generosity of those who practice and learn from me.

I’ve been moved to tears by small Venmo donations that come out of nowhere—$20 here, $5 there, sometimes from someone I haven’t seen in months. Those moments remind me that people value what we’re doing together. That we are, in fact, building a field of generosity, faith, and shared practice.

When I was newer to the Dhamma, I gave what I could. Sometimes that was very little. But I kept giving. And as my circumstances changed, I was able to give more. One time, I gave a check to two of my teachers—Gina Sharpe and Larry Yang—and they didn’t keep it for themselves. They redirected it to another center in need. That moment left a lasting impression: that Dāna isn’t just about giving or receiving—it’s about letting generosity ripple outward and letting it flow to where needs are.

Now, Dāna supports my ability to teach, to continue practicing, and to grow and give forward. And I see how it supports the people I teach—giving them access, agency, and a way to participate beyond money. It’s not a transaction. It’s a relationship. A practice. A trust.
