We create knowledge with our bodies. I teach the theory and the practice.

Gut feelings carry real information and real bias. Most of us were never taught how to tell the difference.

I'm Jes Golden, a philosopher, Jewish meditation teacher, and researcher at the Center for Possible Minds and Harvard Medical School/Mass General's Meditation Research Program. My meditation teaching—grounded in Jewish wisdom, philosophy, and contemplative science—offers a method for attuning to and interpreting the emotions and information communicated through the body. My research explores embodied experience and contemplative phenomenology in Buddhist and Jewish meditation. Through my workshops, keynotes, writing, and teaching, I show people who live in their heads how to use the body to find the still, small voice that leads to greater authenticity, clarity, and discernment.
