* Developing emotional intelligence through observing the physiological aspect of emotions
* How to neither repress nor refuel: mindfulness of an emotion
* RAIN: recognize, accept, investigate, non-identify

Our Meditation Skills Workshops run on Wednesdays. The lessons are progressive and cumulative, but you'll get a lot out of dropping in on any one session, too. Essential for beginners and useful for continued learning for experienced meditators.

Buddhist Chaplain

Yale Chaplain's Office

Before joining Yale in 2018, I served as the Buddhist chaplain at Duke University for 8 years. I received a BA in fine arts from Williams College, followed by an MA in Buddhist Studies and Sanskrit from the Harvard Divinity School. I was raised in a Zen community until I was just shy of 9, where my parents lived and practiced. In my teens, I became a student of the Theravada (insight) lineage. I’m the author of Blue Jean Buddha (2001); The Buddha’s Apprentices (2005); Sitting Together (2017); and Goodnight Love (2023), among others. My husband, Professor Kim, teaches courses in Buddhism with the Department of Religious Studies, and we have two nearly-adult children.
