SparkTalks 2024, dynamic presentations that share the wisdom of Naropa University’s alumnx!
Sami Chhapra: Mindfulness in a Time of Apocalypse
Sami Chhapra (MA Contemplative Psychotherapy, ’10) is a psychotherapist in private practice at Mindfulness Counseling in Lakewood, Ohio, and a doctoral candidate in East-West Psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies. His dissertation explores the concept of Divine Love as the foundational reality of existence, emphasizing its collective implications and using a dialectical framework to understand the contours of humanity’s collective journey and ultimate destiny. Simultaneously, his therapeutic practice serves as both an extension of this exploration and a practical application of its insights at the individual level. Guided by his personal and professional experiences, and attuned to the broader collective consciousness, Sami is inclined to deepen his engagement with the collective aspects of his work. He has a bachelor’s degree in Religion from Oberlin College and a master’s degree in Contemplative Psychotherapy from Naropa (2010).
