Sylvia Boorstein, LCSW, PhD, is known for teaching the importance of seeing the whole of one’s life—family, work, social and political participation, as well as formal meditative practice—as the arena of spiritual practice. A psychotherapist since 1967, she is a cofounding teacher of Spirit Rock Meditation Center in Woodacre, California, and a senior teacher at Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts.
Boorstein leads retreats internationally and has been a panelist and workshop leader at conferences of the American Psychiatric Association. The author of five books on Buddhism and meditation practice, she is also a regular columnist for Shambhala Sun and has published articles in the Journal of Transpersonal Psychology.
