Johann Robbins

Johann first began meditating in college in 1974. He was asked by Eric Kolvig to begin teaching in 2008, and completed Community Dharma Leader teacher training at Spirit Rock shortly thereafter. His primary Insight teachers were Eric Kolvig, Joseph Goldstein, and Shinzen Young, and his primary Direct Path (NonDuality) teachers were Adyashanti, Stephan Bodian, and most recently, Rupert Spira. In 2016 Johann founded the Rocky Mountain Ecodharma Retreat Center, in the mountains west of Boulder, Colorado, where he served as Executive Director until 2022, and President of the Board until 2023. Johann still holds retreats at the center, and also leads regular meditation groups and classes in-person in Boulder. Whenever possible he loves holding retreats in nature, which can be wonderfully powerful. Johann’s style is caring and open, yet focused and clear. He is committed to a practical, non-dogmatic approach to teaching, with the understanding that what works best for one person is different than another, and that what works best for each of us, like everything else, changes over time.
