is a Buddhist meditation practitioner and teacher. His parents
were both early students of the Buddhist pioneer Chogyam Trungpa.
As a teenager, Ethan tried to rebel against his parents' tradition.
Like most well-intentioned rebellions, it failed miserably. The
practice of meditation kept proving its usefulness through pretty
much every aspect of his life, especially those dark and crazy
parts he would rather be left alone. He grew up in New York City
and graduated from Brown University in 2000.
A poet and writer with both strong spiritual
and political influences, Ethan is a featured performer in Sacred
Slam,
a performance series which brings together artists from different
spiritual traditions. He is the author of the acclaimed book
One City: A Declaration of Interdependence (Wisdom Pubs)
and a forthcoming novel, The Last Year on the Island.
His writing has been featured in Tricycle Magazine and BuddhaDharma
Magazine, Sentient City, Reality Sandwich, as well as other
online publications.
Since 2002, Ethan has taught ongoing
meditation and Buddhist studies classes and workshops around New
York City, as well as at Northeast colleges and universities.
He is currently a part-time faculty of Eugene Lang College at
New School University and lectures regularly at Brown, Wesleyan,
and New York Universities.
