Pam Perugi Marraccini has been leading Cloud Floating Free Sangha since 2002. She began practicing in this tradition in 1995 when she received the 5 Mindfulness Trainings and the dharma name True Aspirations of the Heart at an Omega Institute retreat with the Venerable Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. She was then ordained into the Order of Interbeing (OI), receiving the 14 Mindfulness Trainings, by the Venerable Thich Nhat Hanh on August 16, 2002, and was given the lineage name Deep Listening of the Heart and the new dharma name True Source of Peace (Chan An Nguyen). Her commitments to the OI include activities from teaching mindfulness individually as well as in groups, guiding the sangha meetings, and leading days of mindfulness to officiating both weddings and funerals and mentoring OI aspirants. She has given her support to fledgling Sanghas in neighboring cities.
