Jo Potter JDPSN was born in Yuma Arizona in 1954.  She was taught by her Mexican and Opata Indian grandmothers and her mother the art of hugging Sentient Beings generously, the path of laughter and certain Bodhisattva philosophies favored by those women.  This led to meditation lessons at the age of 17, parallel to University of Arizona studies in clinical nutrition.  Her studies included many meditation destinations including Poona, India, which led her directly to the Kwan Um Zen School in 1993.  She lives in Berlin and works with her lifepartner in helping wherever help is needed.  Jo received inka from Zen Master Wu Bong on 3rd May 2008 at the Berlin Zen Center.
