Carina Chikyo Nickerson
My meditation practice started 12 years ago as part of my search to find inner ease. Since then I have been working closely with Dr. Andrew Shugyo Bonnici in Applied Meditation Therapy and have recently received certification as an Applied Meditation Teacher. I am also a certified yoga teacher through Cloud Nine Yoga School and have been engaging in psychospiritual work with Sasha Papovich for the last 3 years. I have loved leading meditation groups in the Long Beach area for patients of Dr. Aleksandra Wirga, and look forward to expanding my schedule to include more groups and yoga classes.
I am currently available for private and group work in Applied Meditation Therapy and yoga. Please contact me via email for more information.
I've loved making things for as long as I can remember. When I was little I loved knitting with my Nana and making holiday trees with old Reader's Digest magazines.
When I was pregnant with my son I decided to take an online art and writing class. Through it I uncovered a way of painting that aligned my inner world with a richly layered painting process. I fell in love with color and bought a sewing machine so I could work with beautiful fabrics I couldn't find in stores. I began painting with magenta and turquoise. I took to making my own bread. And I found a refuge in making art; what I like to call domestic bliss; after I put my kids to bed.
My practice and my art are linked profoundly, delicately, and sincerely. I owe my meditation practice for opening my heart to the richness and depth of my own life and the longing to express it.
May you find real soul nourishment on these pages. Love to you all....Carina
