My name is Allen Weiss. I have a passion for helping people lose their stress, find more inner peace and live their lives with passion and purpose. I started meditating in the mindfulness tradition in 2005 ( you can read about my journey here) and in 2011 my “Basics of Mindfulness” class at InsightLA was noted the Best in Los Angeles by Los Angeles Magazine. I completed the Dedicated Practitioners Program (DPP) at Spirit Rock Meditation Center in 2008 and received formal teaching authorization in 2014 from Jack Kornfield and Trudy Goodman at InsightLA where I have taught mindfulness classes for the past 14 years. During this time, I have worked with many wonderful and highly trained mindfulness teachers and together we have worked in companies and large organizations to bring mindfulness to employees. Besides being the founder of Insight4Peace I am also the former Director of Mindful USC . I am also a professor at USC and the founder of MarketingProfs, LLC., a marketing training and events company.
