S. Leonard Scheff

S. Leonard Scheff is an AFT Board Member, a graduate of Boalt School of Law at UC Berkeley, and practicing attorney in Tucson, Arizona. He is a Zen Buddhist and has attended several of the public teachings by H.H. the Dalai Lama including the five day workshop in Tucson in 1993, and a more recent 2006 teaching. He has organized this "Letting Go of Anger" seminar with input by John Tarrant Roshi since 1993. While the seminar is based on Buddhism through the teachings of the Dalai Lama, he believes these same principles are universal in all spiritual traditions. In addition, Mr. Scheff has attended and led numerous Gestalt Workshops.
