Stories of Growth, Healing, and Spiritual Connection

Stacey’s path began with curiosity during a college religious philosophy course in the mid-80s. What started as an interest in Buddhism became a lifelong journey of learning, understanding, and inner transformation. These testimonials reflect the meaningful impact of that journey on others.

    I saw you and was in aw of your ability to meditate in the noise and chaos all around. Hats off to ur dedication, it was inspiring to witness as most places in life are noisy and chaotic. Inspired me to take my meditation out into the world, not just the quiet solitude of my space

    I enormously benefited from our association and I will be eternally grateful. And my practice has enormously advanced since then. It's been a life-changer.

    This last week camping with Buddhist Boondockers has been wonderful. Getting to practice every day with a nomadic sangha was a welcome surprise, and it has helped to refresh the structure of my own personal practice. I made some great connections while here. Stacey Polacco is a dedicated practitioner and teacher and I'm looking forward to camping with this sangha again later on down the road!

    My present teacher/guide is Stacey Polacco, has devoted years to developing her practice under the guidance of Buddhist monks in the U.S., Sri Lanka, and Myanmar. While she doesn't wear the trappings of a spiritual teacher, it is clear that she is knowledgeable about Buddhist teachings, and that her knowledge comes from experience, study, and practice.... I'm convinced that Stacey has the knowledge, experience, and sincerity to teach and guide others in Buddhist mindfulness practice.

    Planting seeds everywhere! Even if they don't join you've placed the idea in their mind and reminded them of the choice to slow down and meditate sometimes. You are amazing ❤️🙏
