“As a clinician, I know that NYZC’s contemplative training is the cutting edge of healthcare. It is critically important that those who work with the seriously ill receive training on how to recognize and be with suffering. I know of no other organization that  does so much to make this a reality.”

“I love and support NYZC because it is such a clear statement of the power and primacy of human connection in the healing process. Contemplative care is about developing the inner discipline to be fully present with those we are trying to serve. Our patients know when we are there and when we are just going through the motions. I cannot think of anything our healthcare system needs more.”

“Meditation provides my hectic life with a giant PAUSE button. The guided meditation at the outset of every meeting is always a profoundly grounding experience – one that allows me to gently let go of my preoccupations, judgments, unskillful behaviors, and fears.”
