She attended Pelvic-Heart Integration Level 1 Activation with Deborah Anapol + Isis Phoenix in June 2015, Introduction to the Hakomi Method in July 2017,and completed Quodoushka Level 1 with Amara Charles inJuly 2019. Meghan has participated in a four-day grief ritual with Malidoma Somé in October 2018 and a weekend grief ritual with Francis Weller in October 2019.

Guides + Teachers
In the world of yoga, Meghan continues to be deeply inspired by Shari Friedrichsen of the Himalayan Institute and her long time sisters on the path, Maura Manzo and Candace Stevens.
In the field of feminine spirituality and women’s health, Chilean medicine woman + great grandmother LuzClara Camus (who first pushed Meghan to start running women’s circles) , Kimberly Ann Johnson, Meghan’s friend Margaret Kinnevy, DAc, RN, LAc, Doctor of Acupuncture Integrative Medicine, and her mom, Marianne Dwyer, serve as some of her greatest luminaries.
In the realm of eros, Meghan’s dear friend Ashley King has been a steadfast guide (and pointed her to participate in the somatic + sexuality immersions above) and thanks to Ashley’s heart’s lead, she has been slowly diving into the practice of Biodanza since 2019.
