Meet Janusz

"It is rare to find a mindfulness teacher like Janusz - deep in their practice and community, fluid and clear in their presentation, personable and intimate in delivery, open to feedback, and with a number of perspectives that they bring to bear... I have only enthusiasm backed by experience to share in regards to their wisdom, integrity, and delivery."

Life and Practice:

Raised on a small hippy farm in Rhode Island by a family of all women, Janusz Welin began meditating at age 13, exploring Zen and mindfulness. This early immersion in meditation inspired them to earn two fine arts degrees centered on creating immersive meditative experiences that guide people into non-self experiences, the beauty of emptiness and flow states. Profoundly influenced by their volunteer work with mentally disabled children, as well as incarcerated youth at Riker's Island Prison, Janusz has committed to making mindfulness tools straightforward and accessible to all. Deeply affected by the events of 9/11, they devoted over a decade to continuous moral contemplation and traveling to practice with living masters, solidifying their dedication to teaching and public service.
