From My MentorJoseph Goldstein

"It has been a joy to witness Johnathan Woodside’s unfolding as a Dharma teacher over these years of our connection. His practice is deep, steady, and rooted in the liberating teachings of the Buddha. What most stands out is the sincerity of his commitment to the Dharma and to sharing it with others.
Johnathan brings both clarity and kindness to his teaching, encouraging students to cultivate mindfulness and insight in ways that speak directly to the challenges and possibilities of our lives. With extensive retreat practice and years of dedicated service, he embodies the values of diligence, compassion, and wisdom.
I have great confidence in Johnathan’s ability to guide others on the path of awakening, and I wholeheartedly support his work as a teacher."
