I've spent my career teaching people to pay attention. First to themselves. Then to each other. To the breath, the body, the present moment. That is the heart of MBSR, and I believe in it deeply.
But for a long time I carried a question I couldn’t quite put down: what would it mean for MBSR teachers to truly serve the Earth? Not just the people in the room, but the living world those people belong to?
The practice already holds everything we need. Presence. Openness. The willingness to feel what is actually here. What if we turned that same quality of attention toward the more-than-human world? Toward the beauty and the vulnerability of life all around us?
That question became the MBSR & EcoAwareness Project, which I co-founded and lead alongside Trish Magyari. We offer a six-session workshop for MBSR teachers who are ready to bring Earth awareness into their practice and their teaching. Not as an add-on. As a natural deepening of what mindfulness has always pointed toward.
