Penelope Sands

Founder, This Contemplative Life
Editor-in-Chief

Variously described as writer, meditator, contemplative psychology student, designer, cook… ‘opinionated’ and ‘loquacious’, Penelope Sands enjoys variety and a good conversation. She is dedicated to creating healing for herself, others and for the planet. On this website, she contemplates  health and well-being, Dharma and psychology plus random topics of interest gleaned from voracious reading habits. Its all connected, she says. She hopes this forum will be a good one to share ideas between intelligent, kind people all over the world (starting with her friends). She divides her time between Berkeley, California, Boulder, Colorado and her first home, Sydney, Australia.
