Jessica Morey began meditating as a teenager on retreats at the Insight Meditation Society and graduated from the IMS teacher training program in 2021. Jess brings a sense of playfulness and curiosity to her teaching, with a focus on integrating meditation into our relationships and everyday life. She is certified in Integrative Attachment Therapy, Somatic Experiencing and Internal Family Systems – she has a passion for integrating modern psychological insight with Buddhist practice. Before teaching full-time, Jess studied engineering and worked in clean energy finance. She later founded Inward Bound Mindfulness Education, a nonprofit offering in-depth mindfulness and compassion training to youth. More recently, she helped create the Contemplative Semester, a three-month immersion program for young adults.
