Gena Bean

Gena Bean coordinates Mindful Boston’s teaching curriculum and outreach.

Gena has been officially teaching meditation students since 2004, drawing on her practice that began in the late 1980's.

She designs the studio curriculum at Mindful Boston to be a support for "stick-to-it-iveness," helping the student to develop sustainable practices for a lifetime of benefits.

For over 35 years, Gena has been learning from communities that include meditation as part of their search for meaning. Her education has happened at a number of ashrams, monasteries, communes, a medical school, a clown school, and a lot of time sitting around bonfires.
