Bill Belanger studied and lived in Buddhist monasteries and developed an understanding of Buddhist contemplative practices in their traditional context. He's been most influenced by the Gelugpa, Kagyu, and Nyingma schools of Tibetan Buddhism, as well as Zen Buddhism and Bon. More recently he practiced under the psychologist, translator, and meditation teacher Dr. Daniel P. Brown for ten years before his passing in addition to numerous Tibetan lamas and Zen Masters. After he received a master's degree in counseling psychology and was trained as a psychotherapist, Bill found it meaningful to integrate both western and eastern approaches to mental wellbeing. As the founder and CEO of Healbright, an online mental wellness program, Bill works with clinical psychologists to make on-demand mental wellbeing programs for corporate wellness platforms. Bill's meditation retreats, corporate trainings, and coaching programs integrate psychology and Buddhist meditation. https://healbright.com/
