Joyce Curnan

Joyce Curnan has practised meditation since 2006. Drawn by its transformative power, she became an MBSR teacher in 2010 and attended her first Insight Dialogue retreat with Gregory Kramer that same year. Since then, she has been an active member of the Dutch Insight Dialogue community, offering introductory courses and co-facilitating monthly practice groups.

She has been an Interpersonal Mindfulness teacher since 2013 and was recognized as an Insight Dialogue teacher in 2021. Joyce has served as a mentor in the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program. She completed the Committed Practitioner’s Programme through Bodhi College with Christina Feldman, John Peacock, and Stephen and Martine Batchelor in 2023. She assists and co-teaches Insight Dialogue and Vipassana retreats in the Netherlands.

In the realization that we are suffering and awakening together, she is wholeheartedly grateful to this path of relational dhamma. Joyce lives in Zeist, Netherlands.
