Janusz began meditating when he was 13, living on a small hippy farm in Rhode Island. He developed a meditation practice alongside his creative work and received two degrees in fine art. When 9/11 happened, Janusz realized he could either shut down or deepen his commitment to tools of mindfulness and volunteering. Inspired by understanding the worlds spiritual traditions, Janusz began studying with living masters and traveling to Asia to spend time in monasteries. He was empowered to teach by meditation master Shinzen Young in 2013 and by Spirit Rock Meditation Center in 2017. Janusz is the cofounder of the Deep Mindfulness Collective and focuses on teaching mindfulness for creativity, conscious relationships and the classical path of awakening.
