This topic explores how mindfulness helps healthcare professionals create an "inner refuge" for themselves, a space of stability and calm during crises, including larger world issues or personal challenges.

Sharon Salzberg is a meditation pioneer, world-renowned teacher, NY Times bestselling author of thirteen books, and co-founder of the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts. She is among the first to bring meditation to mainstream American culture 50 years ago, inspiring generations of meditation teachers and wellness influencers.
