Teachers: Wayne Coger

Wayne Coger

Wayne Coger has led retreats since 2001. He has worked with Toni Packer for over 25 years. Wayne has been a staff member at Springwater Center since 1981. Previously, he studied at the Rochester Zen Center.

"Toni Packer asked me if I would share the work that we do with others. While I have never had any desire to become a 'teacher,' exploring the work of meditative inquiry has been my deepest joy and passion for many years. What excites me is this possibility to look at anything and everything freshly, without inhibitions or strictures. It is through this open inquiry that we begin to learn about ourselves. To learn how we are when we are not bound by our ideas and self-images."

Wayne lives nearby with his wife (and staff member) Susan McCallum. You can contact Wayne via the Center or by e-mail at cogermac@frontiernet.net.
