Jon Aaron’s Dharma home is New York Insight Meditation Center, where he teaches Buddhadharma and MBSR. He is also the co-guiding teacher of the Makom Havurah at the Jewish Community Center in Manhattan. Jon is a Certified MBSR Teacher and Teacher Trainer, supporting and mentoring MBSR teachers-in-training across the US, Europe, and Asia. As a Somatic Experience Practitioner®, he is particularly interested in somatic approaches to healing grief and trauma. You can find Jon in weekly conversation with his friend Doug Smith on the Diggin’ the Dharma podcast.

When the pandemic hit New York City, Jon and his partner Upayadhi co-founded Space2Meditate, which offers on-line meditation sessions six days a week, and is still going strong. It has organically grown into a non-denominational mindfulness community, with a taste for poetry as an aid to practice.
