Find a Focusing Professional - Gillian Parrish

Biography

I've been Focusing for 20 years, and have found Focusing to be a wonderful source of insight and a great pleasure in life besides. Buddhist study and practice are also central to my life, and Focusing has been a core part of that path too. I find Focusing to be deep time, time out of time, a sacred space. For work, I serve as a creative-writing professor and director of an MFA program. Before taking on the directorship, I enjoyed a fellowship year in which focused on contemplative pedagogy in a global business leadership course and an education leadership course. Nights and weekends, I also serve as a therapist working towards licensure.
