Why study with them?
Paula Evans LCSW CBT is a psychotherapist and mindfulness practitioner and teacher. She has taken her personal practice and love of Vipassana meditation into the professional, supporting patients with mindful tools and coping skills in trauma, grief and loss, food addiction and life transitions. Trained in EMDR and Mindfulness Cognitive Therapy, Paula did her post graduate work in Advanced Clinical and End of Life, Grief and Loss. She is presently a student in the Somatic Experiencing (SE TM) Professional Training.
Paula studies the Dharma at the Long Island Buddhist Meditation Center under Bhante Kottawe Nanda and leads meditation classes there. She retreats at Insight Meditation Society, Forest Refuge and what she considers a place to “come home to,” Barre Center for Buddhist Studies.
With gratitude, Paula is a student of Exploring the Heart of Freedom at Insight Meditation Center and Barre Center for Buddhist Studies, an immersion into the Dharma, the teachings and practices of the Buddha which continues to cultivate wisdom and understanding in taking the teachings off the cushion and into daily living.
In addition Paula completed the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Program with Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield which focused on developing ways to engage others in the practice of insight meditation with self care and compassion.
She is passionate about introducing mindful ways to cultivate growth and healing on a physical, emotional and spiritual level and knows no better way to explore these gifts than in community with like minded humans.
