For this event, clinical and research psychologist Elaine Aron, author of the international bestseller The Highly Sensitive Person, will discuss her new book Spirituality Through a Highly Sensitive Lens: An Objective Look at Meditation Methods and Enlightenment. In it she offers the first ever objective overview of meditation methods and paths to enlightenment.

Aron will be in conversation with Mary Commerford, a clinical psychologist, psychoanalyst, and instructor at an analytic training institute in NYC.  She was for 21 years the director of the counseling center at Barnard College. Before switching to clinical psychology, trained in ministry at Yale University Divinity School, working subsequently as a chaplain.  She has been a member of a meditation community for over 40 years.
