Facilitator
Noriko Morita Harth, originally from Japan, identifies as a Heritage Buddhist and holds Buddhism close to her heart. Her life-transforming journey of discovering and exploring mindfulness and compassion practices has helped her cultivate a more balanced identity between her Japanese roots and her current life in the West. Noriko strongly believes that practicing mindfulness and compassion has been key to her personal growth and continues to be a guiding force in her life.
She is passionate about bringing these practices to others, particularly under served and diverse communities. It is her mission to share both what she has learned and what she continues to learn with the broader community.
Starting in January 2025, Noriko will embark on a two-year Community Dharma Leadership Program at Spirit Rock Meditation Center.
Noriko is also a Certified Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Instructor, Certified Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) Instructor, and the Director of Training at the UC San Diego Center for Mindfulness. She has been teaching MBSR and MSC courses since 2014 and offers mentorship for MBSR and MSC teachers, as well as MBSR Teacher Training programs and practicum.
