Mindful Paths in the Swedish Wilderness: Finding Presence, Love & Silence.
Bonnie O’Brien Jonsson is a mindfulness teacher with over 24 years of experience at UCSF, specializing in MBSR and end-of-life awareness.
In her upcoming memoir, tentatively titled Bone, Breath, and Fire, Bonnie shares the compelling story of how her father’s disappearance during the Korean War propelled her on a lifelong quest for answers. Read about how uncovering the truth about her father’s fate revealed profound childhood grief, insecurity, and longing, and how these emotions shaped her adult experiences of love, loss, and healing.
Through the practices of mindfulness she discovered a way to navigate the complexities of life and mortality. She has led transformative groups in diverse settings, from women’s prisons to tech companies, offering a unique perspective on living fully and authentically in the face of life’s impermanence.
