What others are saying about Robert Beatty

Robert is a wise, open-hearted and skillful teacher who has a unique understanding of Buddhist Psychology and western therapy techniques. He has helped countless people come to a greater acceptance of themselves through his teaching and work as a therapist. He is able to compassionately meet people in many emotional states because he has an abiding commitment to the deep practice of the meditation and therapy skills he teaches. It has been my honor to share a collegial and personal friendship with Robert for the last 20 years and I easily recommend his workshops, training events retreats.

Therapist, teacher, friend, humanitarian; these are the roles in which I have known Robert best. To each of these roles Robert brings his wisdom, his clarity, his great energy, his open heart and his dedication for helping others. He connects with extraordinary understanding and serves with deep compassion. He has blended the wisdom of the ancients and the moderns, the easterners and the westerners to create a mindfulness practice that can be applied to relieve stress and suffering in daily life. I have known Robert as a professional for 25 years and have only grown in my respect and admiration for him and what he offers to our community.
