Ethan Nichtern
Ethan Nichtern, a Buddhist meditation practitioner and teacher, is author of the acclaimed book One City: A Declaration of Interdependence and a forthcoming novel, The Last Year on the Island. His writing has been featured in Tricycle, BuddhaDharma, Sentient City, Shambhala Sun, and The American Prospect, as well as other online publications. A poet and writer with both strong spiritual and political influences, he is a featured performer in Sacred Slam, a performance series that brings together artists from different spiritual traditions.
Since 2002, Nichtern has taught ongoing meditation and Buddhist studies classes and workshops around New York City, as well as at New School, Brown, Wesleyan, and New York Universities. Ethan loves teaching meditation to other people because it makes him reconnect to being a student and it seems to be helpful for just about everyone who tries it. He has much gratitude for all his teachers, particularly Sakyong Mipham, whom he quotes way too often. |
