Today’s guest Roy Remer is teaching caregivers how to practice mindful caregiving, creating sustainability and calm during the caregiving experience. Roy is the author of Zen Caregiving: How to Care for Yourself While Caring for Others. An educator and end-of-life caregiver since 1997, he is executive director of Zen Caregiving Project in San Francisco and lead creator of the Mindful Caregiving Education curriculum. A dedicated practitioner in the Soto Zen tradition, Remer is a student at San Francisco Zen Center. He is certified by the Stanford University School of Medicine’s Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education and by the Compassion Institute as a Compassion Cultivation Training instructor. As a longtime caregiver himself — and the executive director of the Zen Caregiving Project — Roy Remer understands that strain firsthand. He wrote Zen Caregiving: How to Care for Yourself While Caring for Others to provide practical advice, emotional support, and a path to spiritual solace for caregivers who are doing essential work with minimal support.
Zen Caregiving is a much-needed companion for anyone seeking steadiness, spiritual grounding, and emotional support while caring for a loved one. The book is divided into four sections — Mindfulness, Compassion, Loss, and Intimacy — that include short chapters and simple practices that can be woven into daily life.
