Marianne Rowe has been studying and practicing meditation since the 1990's. As founder of the Mindful Education Project, she has been teaching mindfulness to children, youth, and adults since 2007. In addition to teaching mindfulness meditation to individuals, Marianne also specializes in teaching intersubjective (or relational) meditation to couples and groups. This practice of Mindful Relating cultivates engagement of presence, curiosity, and compassion in interpersonal interactions (both face-to-face and online), in service of deepening understanding and connection. She is a Conscious Aging Facilitator and teaches workshops exploring emotional, psychological and spiritual responses to the challenges and opportunities of aging. As a Certified Forest Therapy Guide through the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy, Marianne leads Forest Bathing sessions, a way of sensing deep connection with the natural world through a meditative walk in the forest.
In private practice as a Marriage and Family Therapist since 1986, Marianne focuses on healing, transformation and evolution through awareness and connection. Her therapeutic work incorporates developing consciousness of and integrating the physiological, cognitive, emotional, relational and spiritual aspects of being.
