Mindfulness

& Retreats
Bio
Jess Morey is a meditation teacher and contemplative coach.
She began practicing meditation at age 14 on teen retreats offered by the Insight Meditation Society (IMS), and has maintained a consistent commitment to meditation since. Diving head first into meditation at such a key developmental stage makes the revelatory perspective of mindfulness & compassion her natural home turf, and gives her an easy, conversational teaching style anyone can relate to.
She is also a lead teacher, cofounder and former executive director of Inward Bound Mindfulness Education which runs in-depth mindfulness programming for youth, and the parents and professionals who support them across the US, and internationally.
Before dedicating her professional life to teaching mindfulness, Jess studied engineering and worked in clean energy finance. She has no doubt in the technical brilliance of humanity to solve the challenges facing us – including climate change and systemic injustice. Where she believes we need some help is in our inner & interpersonal intelligence.
Her published works range from the chapter ‘Ordinary Awakening’ in Blue Jean Buddha to Conflict Resolution of the Boruca Hydro-Energy Project: Renewable Energy Production in Costa Rica. She combined these areas of passion in an article in the Shambhala Sun, “Bodhi Trees,” about the potential of Buddhist practice to heal our relationship with the natural world. She holds a BA in Environmental Engineering from Dartmouth College and master’s degrees in Sustainable Development and International Affairs.
Training
I began practicing meditation at age 14 on teen retreats offered by the Insight Meditation Society (IMS) and graduated from the IMS Teacher Training in 2021. My primary training and study have been in Insight Meditation, particularly Burmese Vipassana in the Mahasi style. Since 2013, I have also studied intensively within Tibetan Vajrayana traditions. I have been leading meditation retreats since 2009 and am honored to serve as the Board Chair of the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies.
At this time, I am particularly interested in integrating nonviolence and social justice into my meditation practice and teaching. In this, I am deeply inspired and grateful to the work of my mentor Miki Kashtan. In the midst of the current global environmental crisis given my educational and professional background, I am committed to exploring the relationship between contemplative practice, nature and sustainability.
Finally, my journey has included healing from childhood trauma, sexual abuse and generational alcoholism through Somatic Experiencing, Attachment Therapy, Internal Family Systems and other contemplative, somatic therapeutic approaches. I bring to my teaching trauma-sensitive and healing practices.
All of these threads are inextricably linked for me – injustice, desecration of nature, disconnection from our bodies, lack of community and belonging, trauma, addiction, attachment disorders. My practice and teaching seek to address them in an integrated way – towards an embodied freedom and wisdom that manifests in deep integrity and care for the needs of the widest possible circle of beings, ourselves included.

Event Details
Secure attachment results from “good enough” care taking, which is defined as an adult caretaker who is present, safe, protective, reliable, emotionally attuned and responsive – enough of the time. If we had the good fortune of having this kind of caretaking as children we develop a sense of safety and trust in ourselves and in the world.
And what does secure attachment have to do with meditation and dharma?
The qualities of good enough caretaking are very much what we develop in our meditation practice through mindfulness and compassion practices. Moreover, it is only when we build our capacity to connect and love, by establishing “healthy attachment” with all parts of ourselves, with others and the world, that we can let go and trust enough to realize the awakening promised by Buddhist meditation.
It is not by ignoring our psychological patterns but by directing our curious, loving attention toward them that we find our freedom.
In this course, through discussion, meditation practices and individual coaching, we will work together towards establishing secure attachment in order to support the deepening of our meditation practice – and greater well being in the rest of our lives and relationships.
Participating in a group setting enhances the benefits of attachment work. Attachment healing thrives in relationships, and through this program, we will create a supportive community to foster personal insight and growth.
This program is designed for individuals with a regular meditation practice interested in exploring attachment patterns through contemplative approaches. The teachings are rooted in Dr. Dan Brown’s 3 Pillar Protocol and other Buddhist techniques.
Course dates: Wednesdays 1-2:30 EST
April 3 – May 29
- Fee: Sliding scale $700 – $350 for 9 sessions based on your self assessed financial capacity

Event Details
Our practice together will include eco-grief and as well as other forms of grief- and how we hold, open and practice with grief to move into a space of tender action.
Drawing inspiration from the teachings of Joanna Macy, Linda Thai and Francis Weller, this three-week practice group invites you to acknowledge and feel your grief — for yourself and for the world. Together, we will create a compassionate space to honor, embrace, and practice with all kinds of sorrows, including personal losses and the profound ecological grief of our times.
We will lean into mindfulness and loving-kindness practices to help us navigate the depths of our grief, offering tender acknowledgment and patient companionship. The goal? To give our grief the attention it deserves with the hope that by doing so we can find our way back to a place of reconnection with all of life – including a deepening intimacy with ourselves. In doing so we may find renewed energy and clarity to move into a space of wise action in the world.
This program is appropriate for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. Our time together will include talks, guided meditation instructions, and ample opportunity for discussion and questions. Everyone is welcome.

A class on how to meditate while parenting and/or parent while meditating with my friends and fellow parents, Ofosu Jones-Quartey and Cara Lai.
The potential for awakening is not dependent on one’s life situation. And yet, we may have the idea that being a parent is an impediment to deep practice. This class series, taught by three parents, is meant to highlight and celebrate the many ways that being a parent has the potential to be, in and of itself, a powerful awakening experience. We will gather inspiration through sharing stories; practicing, reflecting, and playing together; and remembering the wisdom of parents walking the path before us.

WITH OFOSU JONES-QUARTEY, ANTHONY “T” MAES AND DEVON SANGSTER RATH
Join us for a transformative retreat that thoughtfully balances the power of silence with the art of communication, all taught through a trauma-informed lens. Our program is uniquely designed, dedicating half of our time to silent meditation and somatic expression, and the other half to engaging in relational mindfulness through thoughtful speaking and interaction. This approach allows for a deeper, more compassionate exploration of both self-reflection and mindful communication. We look forward to guiding you on this balanced and empathetic journey, offering tools and insights that honor your individual experiences.
Led by a teaching team with a combined 30+ years of experience leading Relational Mindfulness at Harvard, UCLA, Spirit Rock, iBme, and other practice communities.
We will be creating an intentionally multiracial community with the aim of hosting at least 50% Black, Indigenous, Mixed-Race, and all People of Color (BIPOC). With this intention, the retreat will have an application process to prioritize registration from BIPOC folks. You will receive an email after you register with more information and confirmation when you are offered a space.
