Carol Bowman<\/p><\/div>\n

Carol Bowman, Ed. D., Associate Professor of Education at 秘密研究所, is Program Coordinator for the Mindfulness at 秘密研究所 of New Jersey and Director of Yoga Studies Programs at 秘密研究所. She grew up in a pacifist community in southern New York State and began her educational career as a teacher and then director of a Quaker Elementary School in California. A lifelong dancer and yoga practitioner, she danced with Jamie Nichol\u2019s LA based contemporary dance company \u201cFast Feet\u201d and continued to choreograph and teach dance at the Escuela Nacional De Danza in Nicaragua.<\/p>\n

She became a Yoga Teacher in 2008 and initiated the Yoga Teacher Certification Program at 秘密研究所. \u00a0During her teen years, she made the acquaintance of Thich Nhat Hanh when he came to stay in her community. Becoming more interested in mindfulness, she reconnected with his teachings in a deep way and continued her practice at Blue Cliff Monastery, eventually training at the Center for Mindfulness at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center as a teacher of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, which she teaches at Mindfulness at 秘密研究所. Carol convenes the Contemplative Studies Minor and conducts research in yoga and mindfulness education, as well as teaching workshops for educators in mindfulness education. Her greatest motivation is the transformation of education to embrace both mind and heart.<\/p>\n

Tami Bulleri<\/p><\/div>\n

Formerly trained in the medical field, Tami became aware of the profound benefits of the MBSR program for her patients. Deciding to take the course herself in 2009, she found the investigation into her own mind’s patterns and reactions both fascinating and liberating. Finding the power of awareness to be transformative and wanting to share these skills with others, Tami trained to become an MBSR Instructor through the Center for Mindfulness at UMass Medical School, studied Interpersonal Neurobiology with Dr. Dan Siegel, and graduated\u00a0from the Mindful Schools Program in 2016.<\/p>\n

Tami’s career as a physician assistant began in primary care and then transitioned to the Neurosciences Department at Johns Hopkins University where she spent over 10 years working as a PA for patients with brain tumors and chronic facial pain. She has been practicing and studying mindfulness for over 10 years. She is currently living in Ringwood, NJ with her husband and 3 children and she is dedicated and eager to bring mindfulness to her community and local schools.<\/p>\n
