PACIFIC ZEN LUMINARIES: Wherever You Go – Jon Joseph & Friends in Conversation with Jon Kabat-Zinn
Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D. joins host Jon Joseph & Friends to discuss his 60 years of meditation practice, prolific writing, and outstanding work as a pioneer in the insight and mindfulness meditation movement.
Jon is professor emeritus at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, where he founded its world-renown Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Clinic in 1979, and the Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care, and Society (CFM), in 1995. Both the MBSR Clinic and the CFM are now part of UMassMemorial Health.
His work and that of his colleagues has contributed to a growing movement of mindfulness practice now used in numerous mainstream institutions throughout the world including medicine, psychology, education, social and criminal justice, sports, and technology. Over 700 hospitals and medical centers around the world now offer MBSR.
Please join us in welcoming Jon, one of the great contributors to globalization of meditation practice today.
