Theme: Ease & Effort

Practice is about embracing both ease and effort, neither giving up nor bearing down. Wherever you've been since you took MBSR, Katie and Josh will welcome you back and gently guide you to reconnect and recenter before the holiday season unfolds.

with Josh Wright and Katie Crum.

Josh Wright was trained in MBSR as well as Shinzen Young's Unified Mindfulness techniques. A Harvard-educated economist whose career spans 3 continents, the pressure-cooker of Wall Street, and the halls of power at the Federal Reserve, his teaching is grounded in the working world as much as the meditation hall – and a unique appreciation for how they can inform each other. His engagement with contemplative practice also includes over 20 years of hatha yoga.

Katie Crum is a student of Zen in the Soto tradition and a practicing Episcopalian; she has studied yoga in the Iyengar tradition for more than 20 years. She took her first MBSR course in 1994 and is now certified to teach. As an art historian and museum professional most of her working life, Katie has a special interest in creativity and the joy that art and music bring to life. Another of her special interest is mindfulness for adolescents.

This session will be offered by donation to support the New York Insight Meditation Center.
