Hi there! Welcome to my website. I am so glad you are here. Based in New York City and Chicago, I offer mindfulness meditation courses and retreats. I support individuals in their meditation journey, mindfulness teachers-in-training, as well as mission-driven teams and communities.

 

Diggin’ the Dharma Podcast

Check out my podcast with my good friend Doug Smith. It’s a relaxed discussion of the Buddhist Dharma between fellow practitioners. I tend to be practice-centered, while Doug is more focused on the scholarship of the early Buddhist texts, so our approaches balance each other out. And we have fun.

MBSR Teacher Mentoring

I work with new MBSR Teachers and experienced teachers seeking to deepen competencies.

Meditation Mentoring

Wherever people are on their mindfulness journey, be it weeks old or decades long, I work with individuals to deepen their practice.

Somatic Experiencing

For those seeking to work on trauma somatically, I offer support grounded in mindfulness and SE.

When I dropped the habit of trying to control outcomes, my mind and heart began to open and expand in surprising ways. It turns out, life has so much more to offer than the script and narrow vision I was chasing.

I am honored to have been invited by Tricycle, the Buddhist Review, to offer a series of short talks on the theme of “Joy in Uncertainty.” All four talks are now freely available on my channel.

Working with Teams and Organizations

I work with internal mindfulness advocates to develop programs which support individuals and teams to thrive and cultivate healthy workplace environments.
