Devin Berry

Devin Berry began practicing in 1999. His teaching is rooted in the Buddhadharma and daily life mindfulness practices. Devin’s training includes Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction teacher training, the East Bay Meditation Center Commit to Dharma Program, Spirit Rock’s Dedicated Practitioners Program, and Insight Meditation Society’s four-year Residential Retreat Teachers Program.

Devin co-founded the Teen Sangha and Men of Color Deep Refuge Group at East Bay Meditation Center in Oakland. In addition, Devin began some of the first mindfulness programs in SF Bay Area schools, including weekly mindfulness groups for youth.

From working with youth as a frontline advocate for marginalized youth living on the streets, to co-creating Deep Time Liberation, an ancestral healing journey that explores the impact of ancestral legacy and intergenerational trauma on Black Americans, Devin is passionate about the power of witnessing and storytelling as a liberation tool. Devin is a father and teaches nationally.
