David Teare
President
David Teare is an Architect in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and has been involved with Deep Spring Center since 2004 when he first heard Barbara and Aaron speaking at the Crazy Wisdom Bookstore one cold sunny February afternoon. David has been progressively getting further involved in Deep Spring Center over the years, including helping to pull together the Chanting Booklet, and working with the AV and Zoom committees. David is grateful for all the teachers and teachings from Deep Spring which have enriched his life considerably. In his spare time David enjoys woodworking and spending time with his family and sangha.

Isabelle Mook-Jodouin
Secretary
Isabelle Mook-Jodouin has been Secretary of the Deep Spring Center Board of Directors since the summer of 2016. She discovered Deep Spring Center through the Aaron/Q’uo Dialogues in 2013, and has enjoyed many hours poring over transcripts in the archives. She lives in Ottawa with her husband and their two feline friends, and does administrative work for her public health unit.
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.
Stephanie Katz
Board Member
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.
