Isabelle Mook-Jodouin
President
Isabelle Mook-Jodouin has been Secretary of the Deep Spring Center Board of Directors since the summer of 2016.

Rebecca Locklin
Vice President
Rebecca Locklin has practiced meditation from an early age, with roots in family spiritual life. She later spent more than 30 years in corporate operations and technology leadership, with roles at Ford Motor Company, Ernst and Young, and Oracle Corporation. Following personal life changes, she returned to meditation and spiritual inquiry and deepened her practice beginning in 2020.
Rebecca followed Deep Spring Center daily reflections for several years before joining the Grant Team in 2025.

Terri McClernon
Board Member
Terri McClernon has been a spiritual seeker and practitioner of meditation in its myriad forms since she was a teen. In 2005 she was invited to cook for a Deep Spring Center retreat and thus began a long-term and deeply committed relationship with The Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha. Terri has participated in classes and attended, cooked for, and/or assisted at retreats in the U.S. and Brazil. The focused and fruitful practices of Pure Awareness, Love, and Compassion woven into all aspects of life, supported by the teachers, have been life-changing. Terri is a mother, grandmother, and entrepreneur and is honored to join the DSC board and support their mutual vision.
Karl Frederick
Board Member
Karl Frederick is an unrepentant engineer, poet, project manager, recruiter, sales rep, and astrologer who delights in the company of other humans, although he seriously questions the idea of “others.” Not a particularly fast learner, after 27 years of benefitting from the kindness and wisdom of Barbara Brodsky and Aaron, and the Deep Spring sangha, he is (finally) drawn to return the favor.
Martha Mason
Board Member
Martha Mason has engaged in spiritual inquiry and practiced meditation for almost thirty years. She learned of Deep Spring Center, Barbara Brodsky, and Aaron in 2008. A resident of North Carolina, she loved attending Deep Spring’s annual oceanfront retreats at Emerald Isle, NC. Martha is an attorney, and for the last twenty years has devoted her practice exclusively to promoting the Collaborative Divorce alternative to the adversarial litigation model in her region and to using the Collaborative Divorce process in representing clients experiencing the hard transition of separation and divorce.
Pat Polanski
Board Member
Patricia (Pat) Polanski has been curious about the human experience for most of her life. This curiosity has been a predominant catalyst for her career trajectory. Pat worked in the public child mental health systems in Ohio and North Carolina for 15 years and then entered academia to teach mental health counseling at the University of Dayton for 20 years. The exploration of
the lessons contained within her own human experience has been guided by Vipassana meditation and Pure Awareness practices, along with her own personal therapy. Pat resides in Dayton, Ohio with her spouse, Kristy Dillon, and works part-time as a psychotherapist.
Iris Wolfson
Board Member
Iris has maintained a meditation practice for over 35 years. She has worked with and learned from spiritual healers, teachers, Nomads in Tibet and shamans in the Peruvian jungle. She has traveled many times to the spiritual healing center in Brazil, called the Casa, where she met Barbara Brodsky. “I soon began studying and participating in meditation retreats with Deep Spring Center. As I continue my spiritual journey, I am very pleased and honored to now be of service to the Deep Spring Center” said Iris.
