Emily Horn - Buddhist Geeks, Boulder, Colorado

"My educational career began in business studies, and I’ve continued to explore how the business world can integrate insight and compassionate activism. I’ve been drawn to work with contemplative education organizations including Naropa University, InsightLA, and Sounds True. I am also part owner and Community Director at Buddhist Geeks, a for-benefit company dedicated to exploring what it means to be a practitioner in the modern, tech-savvy world. I’m passionate about activism and community engagement as expressions of contemplative insight. Over the years, I’ve volunteered at the Hospice Care Center of Boulder County supporting patients, clinicians, and families; I’ve volunteered with children through the Boys and Girls Club; and I’ve managed a mindfulness project in veterans’ hospitals in Los Angeles."
