This Q&A is open to all and donation-based.

Trudy is a titan of meditation in the U.S. She founded the influential meditation center InsightLA and the Institute for Meditation and Psychotherapy. She's been meditating for 40 years in the Theravada and Zen traditions and has done a ton of deep retreat. Trudy is also the fourth-ever teacher of Jon Kabat-Zinn's pioneering Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program and taught with Kabat-Zinn.

I think this will be an especially interesting Q&A because Trudy is one of those first-generation western teachers who -- I'd say skillfully -- introduced dharma to skeptical westerners by emphasizing stress relief and so on, more than hardcore awakening. I'm excited to get Trudy in front of an audience eager to hear about the hardcore practice stuff, open the floor for Q&A, and see what happens.
