Meet the Business Owner

Dan G.

Business Owner

Staten Islanders that have visited the Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art for their Saturday Meditation classes will be familiar with Dan as he has been a familiar face at these classes for the last 4 years. Dan decided to create The Compassion Center so that he could bring meditation to a much larger audience. «There are many people living on Staten Island that are in need of help. They face a multitude of issues including depression, substance abuse, anger, loss/​grief, lack of self-​esteem, and so much more. Meditation can be successfully used to address all of these issues. We have taken the ancient art of meditation, added a modern spin to it, and will now teach this to people so that they can be happy and enjoy their lives to the fullest.» In addition to meditation classes, we will be offering Yoga classes, Dharma talks, and special events.
