Description:
In this workshop, lawyer and mindfulness teacher Jon Krop
shares the skills to cultivate the calm, clarity, and focus that can be
so elusive during this time of crisis. Jon teaches a simple, effective
sitting meditation practice and other mindfulness tools tailored to a
lawyer's unique challenges and busy workday. He guides participants
through short exercises that sharpen focus, calm the mind, and cultivate
resilience in the face of anxiety and stress.
Jon Krop, the founder of Mindfulness for Lawyers, graduated from Harvard
Law School, cum laude, and Brown University, magna cum laude and Phi

Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and worked as a litigator at
public-interest law firms in Los Angeles and New York City. Jon has
taught mindfulness at Harvard, Yale, the Pentagon, and more than 50 top
law firms. Jon has practiced mindfulness since 2006 and has studied with
teachers from around the world, including psychologists,
