Stacey Polacco

Stacey has been practicing meditation and studying Buddhism for more than 25 years. She has trained with respected Buddhist scholars and meditation teachers, including Bhikkhu Bodhi, Bhante Gunaratana (Bhante G), and Sayadaw U Tejaniya. Her practice spans both the Ch’an (Zen) and Theravāda traditions, and she has lived and traveled in Myanmar and Sri Lanka to deepen her understanding.

Stacey has been teaching meditation since 2018 and has led both in-person and online retreats since 2021. In 2020, she moved full time into her camper van and founded the Mobile Community Meditation Center—also known as Buddhist Boondockers—bringing the Dharma to people living off-grid, in nature, and on the road.

A deeply dedicated practitioner, Stacey finds great joy in sharing the wisdom and practices she has cultivated over decades with others.
