Corey Jackson
Corey Jackson is in the final stages of a PhD mapping traditional Buddhist theory and meditation onto a modern understanding of anxiety and depression. This research taps into increasing psychological interest in aspects of cognition that Buddhism has long-held to be important for mental health. His work is the culmination of a degree in Psychology and Sanskrit plus more than twenty years studying and translating Buddhist philosophy from Tibetan to English.
Corey is a lead trainer in the peer-reviewed Cultivating Emotional Balance program which sits at the intersection of authentic contemplative and psychological approaches to mental health and wellbeing. This forms the basis of his courses and retreats that challenge popularized concepts of self-care. Before any of this, he was a jazz pianist in Toronto, Canada.
