Episode 13: A Conversation with Douglas Chermak of the Center for Contemplative Mind in Society
Lately, the podcasts here at the Slippery Slope have focused on technology and, with that, cramming more into less time and cutting through information overload. With our economy in a downward spiral and the election five weeks away, it seemed a good time to step back and say: look at yourself.That is why today's podcast features a conversation with Douglas Chermak, an environmental lawyer in Alameda, California. Doug serves as Law Program Director for the Center for Contemplative Mind in Society. The organization hosts meditation retreats for law professionals and law students. At the retreats, participants spend days in silence, with hopes of coming back to themselves and, with that, becoming better counselors.
Topics include: the benefits of meditation for law professionals, what it is like to keep silent, contemplative practices, the difference between a retreat and a vacation, and incorporating contemplative practices into a hectic schedule.
