Andrew Posner

Andrew was introduced to the Buddha’s teachings in 2012. After leaving a career as a classical composer in 2018, he began deeper meditation training through long retreats at the Insight Meditation Society and at North American monasteries in the Thai Forest tradition of Theravada Buddhism. He moved to Denver in 2022 and now works as a trauma therapist in private practice.

In August 2024, Andrew co founded Insight Denver, where he serves on the Board of Directors and as a member of the Teachers Collective. Andrew is also in the current cohort of the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach. His teaching emphasizes early Buddhist practices of awareness, tranquility, wisdom, and loving kindness, and how these can be integrated into everyday life.

The investigation of suffering, freedom, and the nature of the mind continues to guide Andrew’s life and choices. He remains a grateful student of the Dharma and offers deep respect to the teachers and mentors who have shaped his path, including Joseph Goldstein, Alexis Santos, Mark Nunberg, Carol Wilson, Rob Burbea, Andrea Fella, Peter Williams, Caroline Jones, Sayadaw U Tejaniya, Ajahn Sucitto, Ajahn Thanissaro, and Terry Gliedt. “Dhamma is everywhere, all the time. Is the mind ready to understand?” -Sayadaw U Tejaniya
