Interview with Tara Brach on Mindfulness Meditation

Tara Brach has been practicing and teaching meditation since 1975, as well offering workshops and leading meditation retreats in the U.S. and Europe. She is a clinical psychologist and the founder of the Insight Meditation Community of Washington, DC, which is now one of the largest and most dynamic non-residential meditation centers in the U.S.

Tara’s teachings blend Western psychology and Eastern spiritual practices, mindful attention to our inner life, and a full, compassionate engagement with our world.

Tara has fostered efforts to bring principles and practices of mindfulness to issues of racial injustice, equity and inclusivity; peace; environmental sustainability, as well as to prisons and schools.

She and Jack Kornfield have co-founded the Awareness Training Institute which offers online courses on mindfulness and compassion, as well as the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program. Visit www.tarabrach.com. Follow us on Twitter @americameditate.
