earned a master’s degree in counseling psychology from the University of San Francisco, and is a licensed marriage and family therapist.

Ed likes teaching the Process because, “Over and over again, through the years of teaching the Hoffman Process, I get to be present as people come into a greater experience of the Light that has always lived ‘far’ inside them.

“The summation of all the gifts of the Process comes down to self-love and self-compassion. I don’t need to be different, more refined, or successful to be lovable. The Light is the Light, and Ed is Ed. Falling down isn’t evidence that there’s something wrong with me, only evidence that I’m still alive.”

Ed is the father of two sons and lives in northern California.
