Richard Brady on ‘Short Journey Home’

Join Northshire Bookstore for a special event at Yoga Mandali in Saratoga Springs as we present an afternoon with Richard Brady, a Dharma teacher ordained by Thich Nhat Hanh.

A friend on our path of mindfulness practice, Richard Brady will share his book, one of the first deeply personal accounts of a lay practitioner following in the steps of world-renowned Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh.

Short Journey Home presents a powerful story of transformation, rooted in the author’s long-term and life-changing practice with Thich Nhat Hanh. Richard Brady guides us through his life experiences and lessons learned.

About the author:

Richard Brady is a writer, retreat leader, and consultant for mindfulness in education. In 1989, he co-founded the Washington Mindfulness Community, a practice community in the Plum Village tradition. In 1992, he joined Thich Nhat Hanh’s Order of Interbeing where he was given the Dharma name True Dharma Bridge. In 2001, Thich Nhat Hanh ordained Richard as a Dharma teacher with a focus on cultivating mindfulness in young people.

That same year, Richard founded the Mindfulness in Education Network to support mindfulness in educational settings. He is the North American coordinator of the Plum Village Wake Up Schools program which supports educators sharing basic mindfulness practices in their school environments.
