Acknowledgments
We are indebted to Jon Kabat-Zinn, whose vision and dedication in bringing mindfulness to the world has transformed and informed our work and our lives. Our teaching arises from and is grounded in the embodied wisdom of the teachers of the Center for Mindfulness at UMASS Medical School, present and past, and we thank Saki Santorelli for his clarity, compassion, and fire, Melissa Blacker for her limitless love and patience (especially when supervising us!), Florence Meleo-Meyer for her kindness and gentleness, Elana Rosenbaum for the brilliant light she emits, and Ferris Urbanowski for the delight of her loving presence. We are continually nourished and challenged to grow by our noble friends in the Delaware Valley MBSR teacher sangha. Special thanks to our proofing team: Eileen Abrams, Julie Agresta, Carleton Dallery, and Aleeze Moss. We are grateful for the ongoing support of the staff at the Jefferson-Myrna Brind Center of Integrative Medicine. And, after years of teaching, we remain awed and humbled by the incredible courage and unique wisdom of the participants in our classes — they truly are our most powerful teachers. Donald McCown: I am grateful to those who have shaped my practice, teaching, and way of being in the world: Warren Soule and Chip Prehn for Christian formation and friendship, Larry Kaiden for psychological courage
