Leah Friedman

I met Leah when she took a Women's Studies class from me at Washington University. She was hungry for something new in her life. She found the course to be transformative, especially the parts about Jungian theory, Dreams, and women's spirituality. After the course, she soared with how she applied what she was interested in.

Leah Friedman, my dear aunt - the person who influenced my life the most, has passed away. Leah was my first role model who made me fall in love with virtues.

On our first meeting when I was 10 or so she was wearing a yellow scarf. And as soon as she saw me she took off that scarf and wrapped it...

Leah was wise and wonderful. We were classmates at Pacifica from 1997 to 2000. She hosted many powerful dinners, salons, and rituals. I feel very grateful to have Bern her friend. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. Love you, Leah.

Leah was teaching at St.Joseph's Institute when I was in my first year of teaching there. She was so kind and encouraging to the students but also to me. She taught me how to understand kids and love them, how to understand life and love it, too. Leah is still the person I want to be when I grow up. She is in my heart everyday. Kay Walsh
