How Mindfulness Matures
Mindfulness is often described as paying attention to the present moment. Yet throughout the early Buddhist teachings, the Buddha presents mindfulness and clear comprehension together. Over time, we begin to recognize how these two qualities work in partnership: mindfulness helps us know what is happening, while clear comprehension reveals what we might otherwise overlook.We'll explore how this deepening understanding supports greater wisdom, responsiveness, and care in our daily lives.

TANYA WISER, LCSW, SEP is a queer-identified mother, therapist, and meditation teacher devoted to mindfulness, embodied wisdom, and the path of liberation. She teaches at the Insight Meditation Center in Redwood City and offers retreats grounded in attentive presence, receptive awareness, compassionate embodiment, and deep reciprocity with the natural world, guided by the question: “Is the heart open or closed?”
Her approach arises from lived experience of the Dharma and is informed by training in Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, and Somatic Experiencing. Tanya’s teaching supports people in meeting life with greater wisdom, care, and compassion.
She was fully authorized to teach in 2025 by Gil Fronsdal and Andrea Fella after completing a four-year Vipassanā teacher training program through the Insight Retreat Center and the Insight Meditation Center.
