A Dharma Conversation with Isabel Adon Oct 16th 2020

This coming Friday Jon will be in conversation with Isabel Adon, who has sat with this community a number of times since we started in March 2020. She is an Aboriginal Focusing Oriented Therapist and Trainer. Isabel has over 20 years of experience in the mental health and presently works with children and families in an outpatient psychiatric setting in the Bronx. She has been a volunteer rape crisis and domestic violence advocate for over nine years responding to crisis at six different NYC emergency rooms as a volunteer for the Mount Sinai SAVI program. She has extensive training in diversity work and for the past 15 years has been a practitioner of Vipassana and Ascension meditation.

After a period of meditation,  Jon and Isabel will be conversing about her work with Focusing and the exploration and how acknowledgement of her indigenous roots has impacted her practice and life.  How can our own exploration of our indigenous "histories" make a difference?   It should be a rich evening, we hope you will join us!
