Jerome Freedman

I am an author, healthcare advocate, mindfulness meditation teacher, and a muscle invasive bladder cancer survivor since 1997. I have been a long-time practitioner in the tradition of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh in which I ordained as a member of the Order of Interbeing in 2008. I completed the Advanced Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness Course with David Treleaven and the Healing Trauma Program with Sounds True. I am also a certified teacher of the Enneagram in the Narrative Tradition with Helen Palmer and concurrently in enrolled in two Enneagram courses with Russ Hudson. I founded in 2009 and currently lead the Mindfulness in Healing Sangha at the Pine Street clinic in San Anselmo, California (now on Zoom) and I post daily on Mindfulness Breaks. I just completed a book titled How to Use Mindfulness to Be Happy based on the nine classes I taught for my MMTCP practicum. I have written four other books that are available on Amazon and book stores as well as recorded a dozen guided meditations which are on Insight Timer and my web site, Meditation Practices. I am a contributing author of I Am With You: Love Letters to Cancer Patients, Nancy Novak, PhD, and Barbara K. Richardson. I served on Board of Directors of the Marin AIDS Project and the Advisory Council of the Institute for Health and Healing between 2007 and 2010. I am now a contributor to the Earth Holder Sangha ‘the Plum Village’ climate response community as an activist promoting earth protection. My three wonderful children are each happily married and my son has gifted me a granddaughter who was born on April 14, 2019. My family has been the focus of my life since my son was born. My major interests are in Buddhism, the Enneagram, cosmology and Buddhist thought, quantum theory, trauma sensitive mindfulness, BIPOC rights, walking meditation, tennis and daily practice.
