Wayne Coger har lett retreater sedan 2001. Han har arbetat med Toni Packer i mer än 25 år. Wayne har varit stabsmedlem på Springwater Center sedan 1981. Innan dess studerade han på Rochester Zen Center. "Toni Packer asked me if I would share the work that we do with others. While I have never had any desire to become a 'teacher,' exploring the work of meditative inquiry has been my deepest joy and passion for many years. What excites me is this possibility to look at anything and everything freshly, without inhibitions or strictures. It is through this open inquiry that we begin to learn about ourselves. To learn how we are when we are not bound by our ideas and self-images."
