What do you do for work?

I teach people to meditate and techniques for individuals and teams to reach their creative potential. I am a certified teacher and have been practicing meditation for 10 years. 

I’ve also been in the design industry myself for almost two decades, so I have felt the benefits of meditation both in my personal life and my work as a designer and artist. It is my true pleasure to be able to share this knowledge and my experiences with others. To learn more about the technique I teach and my design work, you can visit www.marisalowenstein.com‍

What’s your favorite thing to do when you have a completely free day?

It varies with the season and how much I have going on at the time. I try to stay attuned to what my mind and body need. Sometimes I crave being out and social, and sometimes I need to stay inside doing not much. A couple of things I usually enjoy are running outdoors and going out for coffee and pastries to new places.

What are you most looking forward to in the next year?

Hopefully seeing my family! They are in Argentina, and I have not seen them for a long time because of Covid. 

Is there anything in particular that keeps you up at night? 

Besides the state of the world? Lately mosquitoes.

What do you like to read?

I usually read non-fiction. I like to read books about neuroscience, self-help books (even though they get a bad rep), books about running, about the life of artists. I also read fiction from time to time. I love historical novels that take place in Germany. 

Last Google search? 

The old preview for “The Departed” (had just finished listening to an interview with Matt Damon.) 

Any vices?

I do miss coffee a lot when I can not have it. 

Secret Talent?

I’m pretty proud of my packing skills. 

Any events coming up?

I am looking forward to the start of “The Creativity Wellness toolkit” also Friday’s “Meditative Drawing”. 

Any events you aspire to host one day?

Stay tuned for some more “Mindful hikes and Nature Journaling” around Manhattan and Brooklyn.
