Joey Bloom
Description
Joey embodies what it means to be a true friend to those on their journey – simply being fully present with a quiet mind and an open heart. Through his own journeys as well as working with others, he has found that what can initially be seen as the most challenging moments often turn out to be the greatest gifts leading to deep insight and tremendous clarity.
In addition to his own spiritual search which started about 25 years ago as well as working for The Leela School of Awakening for the last 11 years, a surprise gift in his desire to serve alongside this sacred medicine has come from his training in improvisational comedy from Chicago's renowned Second City. The art of improv has given Joey a deep appreciation for the blissful, healing power of laughter as well as the ability to adapt and stay calm and present in difficult situations.
Joey’s approach creates a safe container where participants feel both held and free to fully open, knowing they're supported with compassion, a deep stillness, and an open, loving presence.
