A collection of guided meditations, interviews, and talks with Barbara Newell focused on enhancing and improving your mindfulness journey. Barbara Newell is a mindfulness and meditation teacher. For over 12 years, she trained and taught as a Buddhist nun in Plum Village in France under Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. During that time, she not only mastered her skills, but had the opportunity to teach throughout the world as part of ongoing retreats. Barbara left monastic life and returned to the United States in 2015 with a mission to bring the knowledge and experience she had gained to a wider audience. Since then, she has worked with numerous other mindfulness experts including Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield.
