Ann Zimmerman loves meditation, children, nature, and the opportunity to be in service.

Ann has lived in the Rogue Valley for the last 18 years. Ann is a healer and co-owner of Middleway Medicine; acupuncture and herbal clinic in Talent, OR and the mother of Aliya (9 years).

Ann, had the soul-shaking privilege of traveling to Asia at age 18. Upon, her witnessing of the people, culture, and vibration of Buddhism in Nepal, Japan, and Thailand she had an immediate feeling of being “home.”

She has since been a student of Buddhism, spirituality, consciousness, mindfulness, and all things healing for the people and the planet.

Ann deeply enjoys being with children and is also a soccer coach for her daughter’s team. She is a lover of the Dharma.

Clark Zimmerman has been practicing meditation for over 30 years. What began as a curiosity in his childhood as a student of martial arts, expanded into a passion as he grew into an adult. He has always been interested in the Taoist idea of balance as the guiding principle in life.  As one of 6 children, Clark has always been around kids. Clark spent years clowning and being a balloon man in Portland during his medical school days.

He's been teaching Qi gong and meditation for over 15 years. He loves being the father to his daughter, Aliya who is 9 years old.

Ian took refuge in Dharmsala, India in 1993 with Khenchen Namdrol Rinpoche, and has been on the Dharma path ever since. He is passionately committed to helping the Dharma Kids (DK) children know their inherent basic goodness and how to work compassionately with their minds.

He has 2 daughters, Violet and Talia, in the DK program and is overjoyed with what they are learning and integrating. May all beings benefit!
