Half Day of Mindfulness, Red Springs, Apr 25

Being Okay with Uncertainty and Releasing Turmoil and Fear

Michael Ciborski’s
relaxed and light-hearted presence conveys joy and peace to all who have the opportunity to study with him.
His knowledge and practice grew from the rich soil of Plum Village, France, where he spent nearly ten years, both as a lay practitioner and as a monastic. Michael lived and worked intimately with Thich Nhat Hanh and the monastic community to organize, support, and offer meditation retreats around the world. Thich Nhat Hanh named him a Dharma Teacher in 2001. Michael returned to lay life in 2003.
He is married to Fern Dorresteyn, also a Dharma Teacher in Thich Nhat Hanh’s tradition. They have two children and live in New Hampshire, where they are building a mindfulness practice community for sustainable living called MorningSun.
