He has done many things, but is most proud of being a caring human, a stroke survivor, teacher/wisdom steward, strategist, organizer, spiritual advisor, minister of sound and devoted seeker of truth, compassion, health, well-being and justice for all. Through Active Peace, he teaches all walks of life through wisdom, movement, meditation and sound, ways to cultivate well-being as a foundation rather than an afterthought. He received recognition for his pioneering teaching practice by being named as one of Yoga Journal's 2025 Teachers of the Year/One's to Watch in 2026. His wellness journey was born of curiosity; forged in adversity due to a toxic job; and has become a lesson in surrender to the miracles that exist in focusing on what you can control with grit, grace and curiosity. His yogic and meditative practices have served as a sanctuary of peace and refuge while processing racism and the pressures of serving at the height of US politics/grassroots activism as a black man in the United States. He has nurtured an awareness of the true aims of yogic and meditation practice – liberation, open heartedness and loving service. His spiritual practice has helped him bear witness to complicated emotions (anger, grief, disappointment) while nurturing grace and ease of spirit in the midst of it all. Reggie's life work sits at the intersection of building community, bringing more peace and balance to activists; guiding the wellness community toward being more engaged, concerned citizens; enhancing the well-being of all walks of life; and, shifting the world toward more justice for all. He is a featured speaker/thought leader on political strategy, new consciousness, wellbeing, social justice, and civic engagement for leading publications, podcasts and platforms including: Be Here Now Network, Essence, Kripalu, Mind and Life Institute, Omega Institute, SoundsTrue, Upaya Zen Center, the Wellbeing Project, Yoga Alliance, Yoga Journal and Yoga Magazine. Reggie considers himself a global citizen, but spends most of his time in the Maryland/Washington DC area. https://www.thelotusinstitute.org/events-all/oracle-2026 monthly 0.5 2026-02-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627d71921c16fd3a8b7df95f/b31db272-9250-434e-8c74-1c8bc157d551/Thay+Tet+Vietnam+2005.png Events - Oracle Reading: Year of the Fire Horse - Make it stand out Lunar New Year with Thich Nhat Hanh.

He is an ordained member of the Plum Village Order of Interbeing, with the Dharma name True Harmonious Spring of Light, and serves as Director of Communications at the Lotus Institute. After years of mindfulness practice, a moment of clarity during a Thursday evening tai chi class helped him realize that his aspiration to listen to his body—and, in turn, to himself—could be both simplified and deepened through mindful movement. That insight sparked a path of further study and a desire to share the practice with others. Matt studies at the Tree of Life Tai Chi Studio in Boston and also online with Thu Nguyen from the Plum Village tradition. As a teacher, communicator, and friend, Matt strives to bring authenticity, humor, helpfulness, and warmth to those around him. https://www.thelotusinstitute.org/events-all/dec-dharma-talk monthly 0.5 2025-12-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627d71921c16fd3a8b7df95f/1764806498161-6V2E962S1FCILQJZ4MNM/unsplash-image-HHzOFOVB8fI.jpg Events -

Notice how they are consuming each other. The reason the Buddha used the word "poison" is because it is a systemic virus that gets into our individual and collective bodies and minds. As soon as you get that virus you need the antidote to slow down the effect. Our practice is that antidote. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627d71921c16fd3a8b7df95f/ef8b613e-2577-41fc-9def-7e9d30528be5/Larry+profile+pic_Beyond+News+intro.png Events - Ignorance &amp; The Work of Awakening | Three Poisons series | Talk by Dr. Larry Ward - Dr. Larry Ward (he/him) Larry is co-founder of the Lotus Institute, author of America's Racial Karma: An Invitation to Heal and a senior Dharma teacher ordained in the Plum Village tradition.

Larry sees the narcissistic personality disorder as deeper than it appears to be. At the core it is a complex of the I-making process rooted in deep unmet needs. This state of body, mind and emotion is called the hungry ghost realm. In this state people feel nearly constant emotional hunger yet are never fulfilled. The complex habitually craves something pleasing as well as acknowledgement of itself. It demands to have its needs for love and nourishment met, yet it is certain to fail. To decondition this habitual pattern requires a conscious effort. Meditation, among other things, can help. Larry argues it is important that we learn to nourish our inner life into wellness. https://www.thelotusinstitute.org/events-all/sangha-live monthly 0.5 2023-02-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627d71921c16fd3a8b7df95f/c118d603-c0bf-419c-9437-3c0f677d1d6c/SANGHALIVELarry+Ward+SS+March+5+2023+Banner.png Events - Sunday Sangha session - Make it stand out https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627d71921c16fd3a8b7df95f/f75cbc2f-996b-4b6b-882f-5a8fb7b87775/Larry+portrait_Omega+2022.png Events - Sunday Sangha session - Teacher bio Dr. Larry Ward (he/him) is a senior Dharma teacher in Thich Nhat Hanh's Plum Village tradition of engaged Buddhism, the author of America's Racial Karma, and co-author with his wife, Peggy, of Love's Garden: A Guide To Mindful Relationships.
