Hi! I am Violeta and I am writing to you from Lima, Peru. I am a psychologist, professional coach and Mindfulness teacher. Thank you for this space shared with people from many places united by common interests to build, co-create, inspire a more humane, more compassionate world.

Thank you! In the midst of creditation and Licensing for a residential treatment program for substance abuse. Present mindfulness would create just a much easier road for both sides!
Very excited for the adventure ahead.

Hello, all. It is thrilling to see that our group is so incredibly diverse! I’m a nurse-midwife, teacher, and a student of yoga and mindfulness meditation. I am very much looking forward to the learning and community in this program.

Hi all!

I’m currently based in India, having spent time in Spain and USA, and work as a Behavioral Change Specialist/Health Coach with LifeDojo. In my spare time I enjoy reading fiction and philosophy, watching Netflix, meditating, working out, and taking courses online.

Look forward to interacting with you during this summit! Feel free to send a note and connect with me on LinkedIn 🙂

Hi everyone,

I am Laura. I work as a Behaviour Interventionist in rural Nova Scotia and am very excited about this learning opportunity!

Hello everyone,
I am a Behavioral Health Collaborative Care Social Worker in Primary Care at Michigan Medicine. I am eager to learn more to improve my own practice as well as my patients.

Good Morning,
I work in a Primary Care Clinic as a Care Coordinator and I work with Chronic Disease patients to help them with Lifestyle Change, Nutrition and Fitness. I hope to learn how to help patients up their game in the face of chronic disease, to reduce anxiety, increase hope, and take steps toward changes that will improve their quality of life. The power of mindful practice is real and life changing. I hope to develop skill in bringing this to others in an inspiring way so that they will give it a try!

G’Morning, from Cambridge, MA!
I am Bob Tetirick, the retired Administrator of the Adult Psychiatry Residency Training Program at Cambridge Health Alliance. The CHA Center for Mindfulness arose through our program’s residents efforts. I’m very grateful.

So glad to be a part of this!
My name is Bridgit and I work with children and their families at a community mental health center in New Hampshire, USA.
DBT is a big part of our agency and so mindfulness is a stream that flows through much of what we do, though I am excited to tap into this wellspring of knowledge and return refreshed!

Good morning from Dover, New Hampshire (USA).

I’m Julien Olivier, chaplain in this community hospital on the northeast seacoast of New England. I have also worked in correctional settings for some 30 years. My wife and partner in this work and I have long had a daily meditation practice which we’ve shared with patients, inmates and staff. Our favorite meditation setting right now is outside, among the multicolored, autumn trees by our labyrinth. Looking forward to this international practice.
