A safe and peaceful place for Insight Meditation Mindful Movement and Community. It is worth all the work to get there, including limited parking. Check out the many options for different teachers and inclusive groups that welcome people of Color and members of the LGBTQ community.

Dr. Doerr is a caring, careful, and compassionate mediator. I am a Legal Document Assistant in Oakland and I recommend Dr. Doerr to my clients when they need assistance coming to an agreement in their divorce matter. I recommend his services very highly, and my clients are always grateful when they work with him.
