Since my teens, I’ve been passionately interested in ways to connect the cultivation of inner peace with creating peace in the outer world. In my 20s and 30s, I worked as a pianist/composer, often using mindfulness in my work with dancers, actors, and other musicians.  I’ve continued to make use of my musical background in my work as a clinical psychologist – creating a musical for special needs adults, and combining music and movement in various classes I’ve co-taught with my wife, Jan.  Jan and I have been fascinated by recent developments in neuroscience, and have been incorporating them in our teaching of mindfulness. We’ve found that using the language of brain science helps to reach across ethnic, religious and cultural differences to celebrate both our uniqueness and our common hopes and aspirations.
