Josh walks the path of what many might call a modern day “bodhisattva.” His interest in Engaged Buddhism - weaving together principles and practices of Buddhism with social, political, and environmental activism – peaked during his time at Naropa University in Boulder, C.O., the first Buddhist university in North America. While attending Naropa, Josh lived in a Sangha for six months and completed a Shambhala Meditation Practicum based on the teachings of the university’s founder, Chogyam Trungpa. After school, Josh continued to develop his practice of meditation by completing a 10-day silent retreat at the Vipassina Meditation Center in Shelburne, M.A., where he was introduced to the Vipassina meditation technique taught by S.N. Goenka. In 2007, Josh participated in a retreat with Buddhist scholar and deep ecologist, Joanna Macy, based on her ground-breaking theoretical framework for personal and social change titled "The Work That Reconnects". Josh’s guided meditation course at Earth and Sky Yoga is colored by his abundant experience with these teachers as well as his personal interest in others including Thich Nhat Hanh, John Kabat-Zinn, David Abraham, Sulak Sivaraksa, Reginald A. Ray, and Roshi Bernie Glassman. Josh is also Founding Director to the Wolfeboro-based nonprofit organization Global Awareness Local Action (G.A.L.A.), and strives to use skillful means (upaya) to guide his efforts in building sustainable community.
