Training History
Since 1986, Gena Bean has engaged in an eclectic form of spiritual cross-training. She has studied in multiple lineages of traditional contemplative arts.
Her current homebase for personal practice includes secular MBSR/medical-style mindfulness combined with a yoga practice with classical roots in Hinduism.
As an MBSR teacher, and interested cross-trainee, she fulfills the professional requirements set by the UMass Medical School for Buddhist study and extended silent retreats.
A recent collaboration with an Episcopal church has lead to new explorations into Christian forms of mindfulness practice as well.

Description
Coaching is an excellent component of a Contemplative Arts training pathway towards healing, resilience and a satisfying life.
Format
At Mindful Boston, we’ve found that a three-month (quarterly) coaching contract creates a strong infrastructure.
Each individual month includes a 75-minute coaching practice lesson and a 30-minute zoom call. Meditations are customized for your situation, and recorded for you during your sessions.
That means that during each 3-month quarter, you will get 3 in-person coaching lessons, 3 zoom calls, and a curated list of relevant meditations to use going forward.
Benefits of Mindful Boston coaching include:
Non-traditional pathways of learning and growth.
Experience with practices from traditional Contemplative Arts, such as meditation and yoga.
Access to learning tools from an established meditation studio.
An emphasis on growing an independent practice. You’ll get resources for developing your own practice in your own way, and sticking with it over time.
