Paths of Practice: Conversations on Journeys into BuddhismAuthor: Vincent Moore
Paths of Practice (PoP) is a podcast that features interviews with people sharing their experiences with Buddhism and Buddhist practice. The podcast includes conversations with folks from a wide variety of backgrounds, both those that have been on the path for a while and those just starting out as well as everyone in between. In a way, the podcast sets out to explore the "84,000 paths to enlightenment," one Buddhist at a time. PoP was created and is hosted by Vincent Moore. Vincent is a relatively new practitioner of Soto Zen and has an MA from the Institute of Buddhist Studies.

Paths of Practice with Monica C. Mann-Wrobel, PhD
Episode 127
Saturday, 4 April, 2026
Monica C. Mann-Wrobel, PhD, is a licensed psychologist located in Chapel Hill, NC. Monica specializes in providing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for a range of aspects of the human condition including but certainly not limited to anxiety, depression, life transitions, family challenges and trauma in adults. Monica also works with couples, offering Emotion Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT). Monica is an experienced meditator and enjoys infusing mindfulness into all aspects of her clinical work and believes strongly in the value of this approach to the human condition. Monica grew up in small towns in the Western Piedmont of North Carolina and then spent 8 years with her husband Mike in Maryland, outside Wasington, DC, going to graduate school and post-doc for clinical psychology. Monica has had a steady meditation practice for about 20 years and recently completed a two-year mindfulness teacher training program, so she enjoys occasionally teaching at Mindful Families of Durham (MFD). She and her family have been members of MFD since 2018 and this community has helped them really integrate mindfulness into their family routines and rituals. It's been especially joyful for Monica to watch her children learn to be more mindful and kind towards themselves, others, and all beings.For more information about Monica and other mentioned resources, please visit the following links:http://www.drmann-wrobel.com/https://www.mindfulfamiliesofdurham.org/https://triangleinsight.org/We discussed:*The Walk for Peace and reflecting on dharma talks with family members*Finding mindfulness in graduate school, clinical psychology, and the impact of applying mindfulness techniques in clinical work with veterans*The Triangle Insight Meditation Community, Mindful Families of Durham, and the experience of creating and sustaining a model for families to participate in mindfulness communities together*And the importance of remembering that change happens over time and that practicing mindfulness can be a radical act of self-love
