Rick Condon

Rick Condon was first introduced to the Dharma on a meditation retreat in 2009 and began practicing meditation and studying the Dharma at Common Ground in 2015. Since then, he has participated in the Buddhist Studies program and regularly joins weekend and residential retreats.

Rick is a dedicated practitioner, and his practice continues to evolve. Currently, he is working with perceptions of emptiness, loving-kindness, and compassion in meditation and daily life. He feels deep gratitude for the programming and teachings that have been freely and generously offered by the center.

He served on the Finance Committee at Common Ground for the past two years and has recently joined the Board of Directors as the Treasurer. He also serves as a practice leader at Common Ground's retreat center.

In the community, Rick works as a small business owner and offers his time and support to several nonprofit organizations that aim to reduce the effects of global warming and help communities struggling to adapt to the challenging consequences of these effects.

Rick is married and a parent to four children and two cats. He plans to retire from his business this year to spend more time with his family, on his practice, and in support of the inspiring work that many nonprofits in his community are engaged in.
