Larry Ward
Larry Ward received his PhD in Religious Studies with an emphasis in Buddhism in 2015. His research focused on meditation and neuroscience. He was certified to teach Search Inside Yourself in 2015. His belief is that the world needs more high performing contemplatives and his mission is to support this effort, whether it is teaching in a Zen center, Christian monastery or Fortune 500 corporation. Larry is also an ordained Christian minister and he has celebrated more than 30 years of practice and teaching in this capacity. His teachings on Living Buddha, Living Christ are deep and nuanced from his study and practice of strengthening both of these root traditions.
