The Art & Business of Meditation

Reconciling Dharma & Dollars: Examining The "Business" of Meditation w/ Buddhist Teacher, Jessica Morey

Aug 13, 2024

This isn't the conversation I prepared to have, but I'm so grateful we had it! Jessica Morey is an experienced teacher in the Theravada Buddhist lineage. She is the co-founder of Inward Bound Mindfulness Education and a teacher on the 10% Happier Meditation app. 

In this episode, we explore the central question—should one make a business out of meditation? Jessica shares her concerns and discusses the practice's roots in a monastic gift economy. She emphasizes the importance of intention and personal embodiment in teaching meditation, as well makes room for where ambition and wealth can play a role in expanding meditation's impact. This is an important listen for meditation teachers and practitioners alike.
