Spirit Matters Talk

Mirabai Bush teaches contemplative practices and develops organizational programs based on contemplative principles and values. Among other contributions, she was a co-founder and Executive Director of the Center for Contemplative Mind in Society; a founding board member of the Seva Foundation, an international public health organization; and a co-developer of the curriculum for Google’s Search Inside Yourself program in mindfulness-based emotional intelligence. She has also served on the boards of Shambhala Sun, Omega Institute, Military Fitness Institute, the Dalai Lama Fellows, and Love Serve Remember. A friend and associate of Ram Dass for nearly 50 years, she co-authored with him Compassion in Action: Setting Out on the Path of Service. Their current collaboration is Walking Each Other Home: Conversations on Loving and Dying. We spoke about her rich spiritual history, about Ram Dass, and mainly about dealing with death—both of others and ourselves. Learn more about Mirabai Bush here: http://www.mirabaibush.com/#about
